Billing Statements
It is possible that you will receive multiple bills for our services. If you are having a procedure at one of our hospital centers, you will receive one (1) bill for the physician (professional) services and one (1) bill for the hospital (facility) fees. Benefits may be different depending on where services are delivered. Please check with your insurance carrier to understand your benefits.
Patient payments can be applied to outstanding balances for professional services or for the facility fees, as determined by the organization. If you undergo urine toxicology testing, you will receive an invoice from Elite Pain Solutions for the test. In addition, many of our lab results are also sent to a confirmatory lab for additional information on the quantitative results of the specimen If your test is sent to a confirmatory lab, you will receive a separate bill for their services.
Patient Insurance Responsibility for Services Rendered
As your provider, please remember that our relationship is with you and not your insurance company. Your benefit coverage is a contract between you and your insurance carrier. Please be aware that not all medical services are covered benefits under all insurance contracts. We encourage you to be familiar with insurance benefits and limitations.
If you have any questions about your coverage, please contact your insurance directly.
Co-Payments, Co-Insurance and Deductibles
All co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles are due at the time of service. Co-payments are a flat fee paid each time a medical service is accessed and must be paid before any policy benefit is payable by an insurance company. Co-payments usually range from $20 to $70 depending on your coverage. Co-insurance is a percentage of the allowed charge that the patient pays after the deductible has been satisfied. Deductibles are amounts which must be paid out of pocket before an insurance carrier will pay any expenses. The deductible must be paid by the patient before the benefits of the insurance policy can apply.
Self-Pay Patients
We are committed to providing high-quality medical services to our patients that are affordable to everyone. Anyone who does not have health insurance qualifies for some level of prompt pay discount regardless of income.
