Filing OON Insurance

[sdbryan30]

Quick question....Does anyone file out of network insurances for patients? If so, do you accept assignment of benefits or have payment sent to the patient? Pros? Cons? TIA

We will file the claim as a courtesy for our patients; however, we do require payment at time of service and do not accept assignment of benefits on those claims.

We file all claims, however we do not accept assignment on any out of network plans. It's extremely difficult to accurately calculate copays for out of network plans unless you know their UCR. Statistically, it has taken many patients several months to pay after the fact. Hope this helps.
