Frequently Asked Questions
Why wasn't my insurance carrier billed?
If your insurance information is on our billing system when the services are
entered, your insurance carrier will be billed directly. However, if the
information is inaccurate or incomplete, we may be unable to bill your insurance
carrier.
Did my insurance carrier pay for services?
Any reimbursement from your insurance carrier will be reflected on your statement.
In addition, many insurance carriers send explanation of benefits to their
subscribers explaining how their medical claim was processed.
Why didn't my insurance carrier pay for the
services?
To obtain a clear understanding of your benefits and any limitations of your
insurance coverage, it is best to contact your insurance carrier directly for
an explanation of the way your claim was processed and/or denied.
Why am I getting a bill now, when services
were provided so long ago?
Once a response is received from your insurance carrier and we have confirmed
that there is additional patient liability, we will bill the patient. However,
this process is dependent on when we receive a response from the insurance
carrier. In addition, insurance carriers often request additional information
that could delay the processing of your claim.
Why do I keep getting bills?
You are still receiving bills because the account balance is still open.
Who ordered the test?
All testing is ordered by a physician or health care provider. Check with the
physician's office if you have any further questions.
