Primary Insurance
The billing office will submit bills to the patient's primary insurance carrier for all services provided, if the patient has supplied us with the current and correct information.
Our policy is to allow the insurance carrier 60 days to pay a claim. Any portion not paid by the insurance carrier balance, as well as any deductible and co-payment amounts will be billed to you once we have received payment or notification from your insurance carrier.
If a payment has not been received from an insurance carrier within 60 days we may request the patient's assistance in working with the insurance carrier for payment.
Insurance payments vary depending on what type of insurance you have and how the payer determines payment. Some plans pay at a contracted rate, some plans will look at the range of fees within the community and some plans will pay on a predetermined fee schedule regardless of the amount charged.
Not all services are covered in all insurance contracts. If your insurance plan does not cover a service or procedure, you are responsible for these charges.
Billing Statements
Please remember our statements go out automatically monthly by our billing office. Please call our office with any questions or concerns.
