Medicare Patients
If you have Medicare, we will bill them directly for you. You are only responsible for charges applied to your deductible, any co-insurance, or charges not covered by Medicare. Some Medicare secondary insurances are known as Medigap policies. With a Medigap policy, Medicare automatically forwards your claim to your secondary insurance carrier if they have a contract with the carrier. This is known as a "crossover" or "medigap." We do not directly bill all supplemental secondary insurance carriers. Therefore, if your secondary insurance does not crossover to a Medigap policy, you are responsible for that portion of your charges at the time of service (which is typically 20% of the covered charges).
For example, if a standard office visit costs $100, Medicare will cover 80% or $80. If your secondary insurance does not crossover, you will be responsible for the remaining 20% or $20 at the time of service. You may then submit your receipt to your secondary insurance in order to request reimbursement. We will help you expedite this process by providing you with a Health Claim Form with all of the necessary information and codes required by your insurance company to process the claim.
