Higher Out-of-Pocket Billing Risk

This practice submits charges that average 6.8 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.

Balanced Practice

~24 min face-time

Maintains a steady clinical rhythm balancing focused physical examination with patient discussion.

How is appointment length calculated?

Visit durations reflect official documentation standards for Evaluation and Management (E/M) office billing codes (CPT 99202 through 99215).

Physicians who bill higher-level comprehensive visits (such as 99214 and 99215) consistently spend 30 to 45 minutes reviewing complex records and discussing care plans, whereas routine refill clinics predominantly bill briefer level 2 and 3 codes.

Patient Guidance: What to Ask Before Your Appointment

  • In-Network Confirmation: Confirm directly with your insurance plan that Dr. Haertling participates in your specific network tier.
  • Surgical Facility Fees: If having surgery, verify whether it will be in a hospital or an outpatient surgery center. Facility charges are billed separately from physician fees.
  • Written Estimates: If you are paying out of pocket or have a high deductible, request a written good-faith estimate before major treatments.
