Frequently asked Questions…..
Q.: I received a bill and I have insurance.
A.: If you received a bill and your insurance provider was not billed, please contact us. We will be happy to get the information, and bill your insurance provider. If your insurance carrier was billed, you may still have a balance. We encourage you to contact your carrier and ask what they did not pay and why. The balance could be your co-pay, deductible, non-covered charges, or that your visit required an authorization that was not obtained. Your carrier knows your contract and should quickly provide the reasons for the remaining balance. Note: Before undergoing any elective procedure, it is wise to check with your insurance provider to see what services are covered.
Q: I forgot my billfold or purse. I do have insurance, but I’ll need to provide the information later. Can you still bill my insurance carrier?
A.: Please call us. A Patient Accounts Representative will be happy to take your insurance information, and as a courtesy, bill your insurance carrier.
Q.: I was injured at work and I thought my employer would pay the bill?
A.: This could be true. However, in order to bill for you, we need the complete name, address, city, stae, and telephone number of your company’s Workmen’s Compensation insurance carrier, and a claim number. Then, please contact us, and as a courtesy, we will bill your Workmen’s Compensation insurance carrier. If you told the Emergency Department staff that this was a worker’s compensation injury, the Emergency Department registration staff provides the appropriate form. This form needs to be completed by your employer, and returned to McLaren Greater Lansing Patient Accounts. Until this is returned, you are responsible for the balance.
