Financial Protection Alert

Higher Out-of-Pocket Billing Risk

This practice submits charges that average 4.4 times customary allowable rates. If you have not met your annual health insurance deductible, or if this doctor is out-of-network with your health plan, you may face significant balance billing.

3 Steps to Protect Your Wallet:
  • Confirm network status: Call your insurer to confirm this specific physician and office address are in-network.
  • Request in-network labs: Before blood draws or biopsies, ask the nurse to send samples exclusively to an in-network commercial laboratory.
  • Ask for a written estimate: Under the No Surprises Act, you are legally entitled to a Good Faith Estimate if you are self-pay or out-of-network.
