Our Priority Is Your Care, So We Strive To Be Flexible in
Accepting A Wide Variety Of Insurance Plans
Your experience with us
is important. Consider the following factors:
. . .
Your
insurance company likely has numerous plans.
Each plan offers different deductibles, copays,
limitations, referral requirements, and sometimes benefits.
It is important you understand your plan so you may anticipate
getting a bill for services your plan does not cover. If you
want to switch your primary care physician, be sure they participate
with your plan. If you
have questions, calling your insurance plan's customer service
number and consulting with a representative is the best way to
get answers about your specific plan.
. . .
Any of the plans, including
Medicare and state plans, may refuse to pay for a service or
procedure performed for a patient, if there was not a 'medical
necessity' to provide it.
Healthcare coverage is not determined by the patient and
physician, as much as it is by the medical consultants companies
use to determine the validity of paying for some services and
procedures. Preventive services covered under a plan are most
commonly influenced by this factor. For example, Medicare
patients seeking an annual visit with their gynecologist may not
realize it is not covered annually; Medicare will actually pay
for this visit only every 2 years, not annually.
. . .
Their coverage policies, diagnosis they
will pay for, and plan benefits are subject to change every year.
If you have been a member of a
plan for a few years, you may need to update yourself on what is
currently covered. Contact your plan's customer service
representative for any questions you may have.
. . .
We will work with you if you learn your
plan does not cover a service or procedure. Rest assured,
we welcome you to approach us in advance and discuss possible solutions.
