For your convenience, we file an insurance claim on your behalf. If we do not currently participate in your insurance plan, you will be responsible for your charges. Patients should clarify this with their insurance company prior to being seen in our office. It is ultimately the patient's responsibility to ensure that our office is "in-network" with their insurance plan at their time of service and to fully understand their plan's benefits. Some insurance plans pay nothing towards a visit for "out-of-network" services and some will pay a portion of the cost of the visit regardless of the physician's "out-of-network" status. As a courtesy, we will file claims for plans which may consider us "out-of-network"; however, any unpaid portion of the claim is the responsibility of the patient. We are always happy to explore the possibility of participation in other plans as needed.
We also accept:
Medicare (Part B) on patients age 65 and older
Railroad Medicare (Part B) on patients age 65 and older
Soonercare Traditional (on a limited basis to children under 18 years only)
We do not participate in Soonercare Choice. We also do not participate in most Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and Medicare Advantage Plans (plans that replace Medicare coverage). However, we do participate in most Medicare Supplemental Plans (plans which pay secondary after Medicare pays its portion).
The filing of insurance does not release the patient from responsibility for charges for services which have been provided. Applicable co-payments are due at the time of service. Charges for services not covered by insurance are due when the patient receives their billing statement. It is the patient's responsibility to ensure that our office is "in-network" with their insurance plan. Patients should always check with their insurance company prior to each visit to ensure that our office is a participating "in-network" provider. Any charges deemed "out-of-network" by the insurance plan will be the responsibility of the patient.
We are also happy to treat self-pay patients (patients without health insurance or other outside coverage). Self-pay patients must pay in-full on the date of service and will receive a significant discount for doing so.
