FAQs

 

1.   DO YOU TAKE MY INSURANCE?  We give you all the documentation you need to submit your claim to insurance, however, we do not bill insurance.  Please check with your insurance company for out-of-network benefits.  This applies only to your visits here.  You may still use your insurance for healthcare outside of our office for specialty consultation, x-rays, procedures, physical therapy, hospital admission, medical equipment, etc. 

2.   WHY DON’T YOU TAKE MY INSURANCE?  We work for YOU.  Your care here is directed by the doctor and not by an insurance company.  We believe your treatment plan should be determined by you and your physician, not by a third party who does not know you and has not gone to medical school.

Cost of care is frequently lower because we do not spend money to manage insurance contracts.

3.   CAN I USE MY INSURANCE FOR OTHER MEDICAL SERVICES LIKE RADIOLOGY STUDIES, PROCEDURES, SUBSPECIALTY CARE, HOSPITAL ADMISSION? Absolutely.

4.   HOW CAN I GET REIMBURSED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY?  You may submit your superbill to your insurance company for reimbursement according to your policy.  Most insurance companies have forms available for download on their websites.  If you would like someone to do this for you, Treasure Valley Billing provides competent, professional independent billing for $10/visit. Lab test submissions are an additional charge.
