Billing Procedures
Dickson Medical Associates Business Office bills your health plan within a few days of your visit. Health insurance usually pays within 30 days. Occasionally, a health plan asks for additional information before paying your claim. In this case insurance processing may be delayed beyond 30 days.
After your insurance carrier has processed your claim, you will receive a statement for the remaining balance. This statement will include balances still waiting to be paid.
Remember, insurance providers require that co-pays, deductibles, and non-covered services be paid at the time of service.
