Insurance Filing
The Medical College Billing Office will file health insurance claims on your behalf. We also submit claims to secondary insurance carriers once primary insurance benefits have been resolved. Please remember that the ultimate financial responsibility for payment lies with the patient, not the insurance company.
Health insurance benefits vary. It is always advisable to check with your insurance company or employer before receiving services.
Some plans require referrals or authorizations. Benefits for office visits may depend on the place of service (Medical College physicians provide services in outpatient hospital and office settings).
Medicare
Medical College providers accept assignment with Medicare. Medicare patients are responsible for non-covered services as well as deductible and coinsurance amounts. Supplemental insurance carriers may be billed for Medicare patients who have additional coverage.
Medicaid
Medicaid recipients should come to appointments with a current Medicaid card and be prepared to pay their co-pay.
