At the time of your visit, patients need to provide our office with the correct insurance information, including your insurance card to be copied. We ask that all co-insurance and co-payments be paid at the time the service is performed. We will perform courtesy billing for you, provided you have given us all pertinent billing information.

Your insurance coverage is an agreement between you and your insurance company. Financial responsibility rests with the patient for deductibles, co-insurance and non-covered services. In addition to personal checks, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and debit cards. You may receive four separate bills, the facility fee, pathology, your physician’s professional fee and your anesthesiologist’s professional fee. Your insurance will be billed for all of these services.

Don’t hesitate to call our billing office with any insurance or billing questions: (301) 593-8044. Our staff is eager to address any questions or concerns you may have.

Because you are responsible for costs for covered healthcare services until you reach your deductible, you should comparison shop if you elect to have a nonemergency procedure.

You can use tools like Healthcare Bluebook and the Medicare Procedure Price Lookup (for Medicare patients).  Many health insurance websites also provide information on where to find in-network services.
