We have contracts with a variety of insurance
companies. Being a “participating provider” means
your insurance company has negotiated lower fees. We agree
to write off the difference between our standard fee and what
the company has negotiated. Your co-pay or co-insurance amount
is based on the contracted fees.
Below is a list of the most common:
- Aetna
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan
- Medicare
- Medicare Plus Blue
- Priority Health
- Priority Medicare
- Railroad Medicare (Palmetto GBA)
- Physician’s Care
- Cofinity
- United Health Care
We take great care to make certain that our fees for professional
services are consistent with the standards established in
our community. The amount for which you are responsible is
based on your individual insurance contract. Because the
high cost of preparing and mailing statements has a direct
effect on the cost of your medical care, we ask you to help
us keep our fees lower by paying your portion of the visit
before you leave. Knowing what your insurance company requires
as your co-payment or deductible amounts makes this possible.
Even though we may not be contracted with your particular
insurance plan, our billing staff will make every effort to
help you work with your insurance company. Your company will
reimburse you for the services you received at our office
based on your contract’s “out of network”
benefit level.
