Medical care has never been as advanced as it is today, nor has
it ever been so complicated. The typical doctor’s office maintains
relationships with dozens of insurance companies, managed care organizations,
primary physician’s organizations and other payers. Each has
its own set of requirements concerning payment, patient co-payment
and pre-authorization requirements.
We want to work with you to assure that the care you receive is
consistent with your insurance provider’s requirements. Since
you, as the patient, are financially responsible for the cost of
the care we provide you, North Valley ENT believes it is in your
best interest to be actively involved with your insurance provider
through this process. We encourage you to learn about your benefits
and their limitations. Be prepared to pay your insurance co-payment,
if your plan requires one. It is also wise to be informed of any
benefit restrictions due to pre-existing conditions. Find out if
you have a deductible and whether or not it has been met, so you
will be prepared if necessary to pre-pay some of the cost of your
surgery.
