FAQ

Item #1
Patients are sent a bill if their insurance company determines that they owe deductible, co-insurance, or if there is a non-covered service or amount. Our office does not determine how much you owe or why: this is determined by your insurance company and explained on your EOB (explanation of benefits).
A deductible is a set yearly dollar amount you will owe toward the cost of your medical care before your insurance company will begin to pay. Check your policy to determine the amount. A Co Pay is a set amount that you pay at the time of your treatment. Co-insurance is a percentage of your medical services that you owe. Non-covered services or amounts are determined by your insurance company. Your policy may have limits on the number of treatments per year or the procedures that they will cover. Your insurance company determines both the coverage (typically called benefits) of your particular insurance plan as well as the allowed payable amounts for acupuncture services. Co Insurance is a percentage of the insurance plan’s allowable amount.
If you can’t find your EOB from your insurance company it is usually available online. You can also call customer service and have the representative explain to you the details of what you owe and why for the date of treatment in question. The customer service rep can send you a hard copy of your EOB for your records upon request.
