questions about your bill
What billing or insurance information will I receive?
​
​You will receive a copy of your bill. After your insurance has paid, we'll provide you with a monthly statement of your account.
​
How long will it take to get things settled with the insurance company?
​
Generally, it takes from 45 to 60 days to obtain payment from an insurance carrier.​
​
​Why am I getting bills from physicians?
​
​Each physician who provides professional services will send you a separate bill from his or her office. These physicians will include:
- your own physician
- other physicians who conducted tests and procedures
- consulting physicians chosen by your primary physician to read and interpret test results.
​
These physicians may include specialists in anesthesiology, cardiology, emergency medicine, nuclear medicine, pathology, radiology, or urodynamics. You will be responsible for paying these bills as well.
​
​I received a notice that my insurance company has paid on my bill -- but I can't understand how they calculated their payment amount. Do you know?
​
​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. Each plan is created to fit only your individual needs.
