> Insurance
We are contracted
with most insurance plans. We will file your medical claims
regardless of whether or not we are contracted with your plan.
The only exception to this is if you are a member of an HMO plan
that we are NOT contracted with. HMO members must remain in
network for any claim payment to be made.
Please remember,
the patient is responsible for understanding her insurance benefits.
All insurance plans have different benefits which makes it
impossible for our staff to know what your plan will and will not
cover. Being able to answer the following questions will
ensure that you are financially prepared for your upcoming visit:
- Do I have an office visit
co-pay? If so, how much?
- Does my plan cover
preventative care such as my annual well exam and pap?
- Do I need to use a specific
lab for my pap smear, cultures or blood draws?
- Which hospital can I go to for
a mammogram, ultrasound or x-ray?
- Which hospital can I use
should I need to have surgery?
Our insurance and
billing department is always willing to assist you with your
insurance needs such as pre-certification of a procedure or surgery,
helping you understand your explanation of benefits or questions
regarding a bill you received from our office. Feel free to
call the insurance department at 815-932-7233, Monday-Thursday
8am-5pm and Friday 8am-4pm. |
