PRIOR INSURANCE APPROVAL
Some insurance companies require prior approval for these procedures done in the office. It is your responsibility to check with your insurance company for prior approval. If they require authorization, please call our office, (919) 781-7500 ext 281, with all pertinent information and we will obtain the authorization. Some insurance companies may not cover screening procedures. If your doctor has requested your procedure because you have reached the age where these procedures are recommended, you insurance company considers this a screening procedure. It is your responsibility to see how your insurance company will cover the procedure. For some outpatient procedures, insurance companies will cover at a percentage or copay different than they would for an office visit. WAKE INTERNAL MEDICINE PAYMENT POLICY
PAYMENT IS DUE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE
Wake Internal Medicine Consultants does require patients with Medicare and noncontracted insurances
to pay to pay your estimated cost of the procedure in full one week prior to services being rendered. This
is an estimated cost only and is subject to change in response to the physician’s findings and subsequent
treatment.
If you have Medicare your estimated cost will be based upon the current Medicare Limiting Allowable, for all
other plans your estimated cost will be based upon our current fee schedule. Our office will submit a claim to
your insurance company on your behalf. Your insurance company will then remit their payment directly to you,
the insured.
If you have insurance that is deductible, coinsurance, or copay the patient will be responsible to pay the full
amount prior to services being rendered. For example; if BCBS State is your insurance and have not met your
deductible of $350.00 you will be expected to pay up to $350.00. If you have met your deductible you will be
asked to pay a $150.00 down payment that is to offset the 20% patient coinsurance.
We thank you for your patience and cooperation through the billing process and greatly appreciate you
choosing Wake Internal Medicine for your medical care. If you have any questions regarding your fees please
call (919) 781-7500 ext 324.
