Insurance Statement
INSURANCE
Please note that Dr. Benita Phillips does not accept health insurance of any kind. We are a cash-based practice (pay at time of service), and Dr. Phillips has voluntarily opted out of all health insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, and does not communicate in any way with health insurance carriers.
Our patients will be provided diagnosis and billing codes on all invoices which can be used by the patient for self-claim submissions to their health insurance carrier (Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE excluded for consult fees). It is entirely at the discretion of the insurance carrier whether or not they will apply any invoiced charges to your deductible or reimburse you for those charges, and this will largely depend on the actual insurance carrier and the specific health plan you are signed under.
Our patients will also be provided diagnosis and billing codes on all lab testing orders, and if you provide health insurance information within our secure patient portal, we will print this information on the lab orders as well. We also offer the option to create insurance-pay lab orders which offer our patients the option to use their health insurance card for payment when they visit the lab for testing. Please note that it is the patient's responsibility to confirm, in advance, with their health insurance carrier whether or not payment will be covered for lab testing ordered by Dr. Phillips.
CASH DISCOUNTED LAB ORDERS AVAILABLE
For patients who do not have health insurance or do not want to submit health insurance claims on their own, Alive and Well Health will also offer very competitive cash discounted lab testing rates when going to Quest Diagnostics for testing. Under no circumstances will our office submit insurance claims of any kind to health insurance carriers on behalf of our patients.
MEDICARE, MEDICAID, AND TRICARE
Please note that Dr. Phillips has voluntarily opted out of Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE. All patients who qualify for Medicare benefits will sign an opt-out agreement with Dr. Phillips stating that the patient agrees to not submit any consult fees incurred with Dr. Phillips to Medicare as a self-submission claim for reimbursement.
Please note it is the patient's responsibility to confirm with Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE that payment will be covered for lab costs ordered by Dr. Phillips.
GENERAL INSURANCE STATEMENT
While Dr. Phillips will provide diagnosis and billing codes at your initial consult, be prepared for the possibility that the lab costs for your initial consult lab order may not be covered by some health insurance carriers since there are no diagnosis codes yet assigned before you actually meet with Dr. Phillips. You can contact your health insurance carrier for clarification of their policy.
For all follow-up lab testing fees and consults, Dr. Phillips will provide diagnosis and billing codes which may support reimbursement (or be applied to your deductible fees). All insurance plans, however, are different and reimbursement solely depends on your policy. Reimbursement is not guaranteed. The exception remains with Medicare not allowing a patient to submit any consult fees for reimbursement.
