Insurance Information

 

The following financial categories are supported here:

  • I. Medicare and HMO's - If your primary carrier is Medicare or an HMO, we file the charges to your carrier. After the insurance company responds and if there is a balance due from the patient, you will receive a statement showing the charges, any payments, and the balance due. The balance is considered the patient's responsibility. Please make payment to the Clinic upon receipt of your statement.
  • II. PPO's - If the Clinic is a participating provider with your PPO insurance plan, we file charges to your insurance carrier. After the insurance company responds and if there is a balance due from the patient, you will receive a statement showing the charges, any payments, and the balance due. The balance is considered the patient's responsibility. Please make payment to the Clinic upon receipt of your statement.

 

Pediatric Surgery Of Louisiana automatically files claims for all insurance companies. Because insurance coverage can vary from plan to plan, please understand that you are ultimately responsible for settling your account.

We will file secondary insurance. After processed by the insurance company, any patient responsibility will be billed to the guarantor.
