Patient Information: Insurance


Insurance
Many of our services are covered by most insurance plans, but no insurance company can be expected to cover all medical costs. Some companies pay fixed allowances for certain procedures, others pay a percentage of the charge. It is your responsibility to pay any deductible amount, co-insurance or any other net balance not paid by your insurance company.

Medicare and Blue Shield charges will be sent in for you. Medicare will pay you 80% of allowable charges (which are determined by Medicare and are not based on the actual doctor's fees). Blue Shield will pay you according to your policy benefits.

It is your responsibility to notify us of your health insurance coverage and to provide us with your policy number(s).

Your policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. While we will be happy to do what we can to help you receive maximum benefits from your insurance provider, we cannot resolve disputes involving coverage.

For individuals without insurance, we request that payment be made at the time service is rendered. We also recognize that many patients need to set up payment plans for extensive treatment. You are encouraged to discuss your specific financial situation with our patient representative at (402) 420-3400.

There is a $20.00 charge for all returned checks.
