Insurance Accepted
"Do You Accept My Insurance?"
Our staff is frequently asked the above question and often there is a miscommunication about the answer which is given. To eliminate any misunderstandings, the following clarification is provided for your information.
When our staff says that we "accept" your insurance, what they mean is that we will file an insurance claim with your insurance carrier. What most patients really want to know is whether our practice "participates" with your insurance carrier. "Participation" means that our facility to the contractual relationship with your insurance carrier and we will adjust our fees to the negotiated allowance and you will only be responsible for your deductibe, co-insurance, or co-pay.
There are thousands of insurance plans out there and it is impossible for our staff to be knowledgeable about all of them. It is your responsibility to know your insurance coverage and pre-certification requirements. If your plan is not on our participating provider listing, you will be responsible for any balance due after your insurance carrier has paid.
