Insurance

 

Introduction
ELLE Center for Breast Health accepts all insurance plans. Because many companies frequently change their policies, it is sometimes difficult to accurately estimate our patient's insurance co-payment. As a courtesy, we ask that you keep us informed of any change to your insurance coverage. It is important that all information about you is current.
 

Co-Payment: All co-payments are due when you check in at the front desk.
 

HMO Patients: All patients with HMO insurance coverage must have a referral from their primary care physician. Obtaining a referral is the patient's responsibility. We cannot obtain the referral for you, and the referral cannot be obtained retroactively. If you do not have a referral, we will be happy to see you on a cash basis or re-schedule your appointment, but your medical insurance company will not pay for your treatment without a timely referral.
 

Medicare Patients: Medicare pays us directly for your care. You are responsible for any deductible and co-insurance. If Medicare denies your procedure, you are responsible for the charges.
 

Private and Group Insurance: As a courtesy, we will file your insurance claims for you. Upon receipt of an insurance payment, any balance due will be billed to you. If you have deposited an excessive co-payment, it will be refunded to you.
 

If you have any questions or concerns, please ask our staff. They are well informed,  up-to-date and available to speak with you.
