Insurance Information

Our practice participates with most insurance companies. If you have an HMO policy, it is your responsibility to have referral information with you. Physician assistants (PA’s) and nurse practitioners (NP’s) employed by MidAmerica Heart and Lung Surgeons will be helping with your surgical procedure and recovery. Separate charges will be submitted for their services. All charges are submitted to your insurance carrier for payment. However, the patient is responsible for surgeon, PA and NP charges not paid by insurance. Your insurance might not cover these charges. Ultimately, it is the patient’s responsibility to contact their insurance carrier to determine the benefits their plan provides.

ALL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RENDERED ARE CHARGED TO THE PATIENT. NECESSARY FORMS WILL BE COMPLETED TO HELP EXPEDITE INSURANCE CARRIER PAYMENTS. HOWEVER, THE PATIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL FEES NOT PAID BY INSURANCE. IT IS ALSO CUSTOMARY TO PAY COPAYS AND/OR DEDUCTIBLES AT TIME OF SERVICE UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE IN ADVANCE WTH OUR BILLING DEPARTMENT. FAILURE TO NOTIFY OUR OFFICE IN ADVANCE CONCERNING ANY CHANGE OR CANCELLATION IN YOUR INSURANCE COVERAGE WILL MAKE YOU FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INCURRED CHARGES AFTER SUCH CHANGE GOES INTO EFFECT.
