Fees and Payments
Fees and Payments
We make every effort to keep our payment process as simple as possible.
Our billing specialists are familiar with most insurance plans and are happy to answer your questions. However, surprises are not fun and it is still best for you to call your insurance company to verify the coverage of your visit with us. You can contact our biling department during normal office hours at (614)-339-8500.
We also strive to contain the costs of medical care. Due to increased overhead from equipment and professional personnel required for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up for retinal diseases, co-payments are expected at time of service.
We understand that insurance requirements and forms can be confusing, so filing your insurance claims is a part of our service. Please check with your insurance company and obtain any required authorization before your first visit.
If Midwest Retina is a provider on your insurance plan
We will bill the insurance company for payment.
If Midwest Retina is not a provider on your insurance plan
We will ask for payment when services are rendered. We then file with your insurance company and have reimbursement sent to you.
Medicare patients
As Medicare participating physicians, we accept assignment on all Medicare claims. That means the patient is not responsible for charges above those allowed by Medicare. We’re required by Medicare to collect your deductible and co-insurance. We bill any secondary insurance carriers after Medicare pays.
Medicaid patients
You must bring their current Medicaid card to each visit.
Uninsured patients
We work with uninsured patients to arrange payment plans.
