Questions About Your Bill
You will receive a copy of your bill from your insurance provider. If there is an unpaid balance, you will receive a statement from our biller.
Generally, it takes from 45 to 60 days to obtain payment from an insurance carrier, provided all paperwork is correct. To avoid delays, please ensure that you supply us with all correct and updated contact information during your visit.
In cases where there are procedures performed that are not immediately billable, we will attempt to calculate the actual deductible and billable costs with your insurance provider. Unpaid portions if applicable will be billed to you directly. If you have a question about covered and uncovered procedures, please contact your insurance provider directly.
If we have received any such information from your insurance company, we’ll be glad to share it with you. However, for answers to any questions about insurance payments, deductibles, or co-payments, you generally need to check with your insurance company.
