Insurance, Fees, and Billing

Insurance, Fees, and Billing
As a courtesy, we will initiate a claim to your insurance company on your behalf. Midwest Ear, Nose and Throat is contracted with most major insurance companies, HMOs and PPOs. Claims will be submitted as “insurance assignment” which authorizes payment to be made directly to our office. In order to file a claim we must have all your insurance data, a signed authorization form and a valid insurance card at each time of service.

We are required by our contracts with your insurer to collect co-payments for services at the time they are rendered. You are responsible for any deductibles, co-insurance, and non-covered services. Please keep in mind that insurance is a method for patients to be reimbursed for the fees they have paid for medical services. Your insurance coverage is a contract between you and your insurance company, not our office; therefore, you are responsible for full payment of your account when due. If you insurance company does not pay the claim within 45-60 days, you may also be required to take an active part in the recovery and payment of your claim.

Midwest Ear, Nose & Throat accepts cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard and Discover. If there is an unusual financial difficulty in your family that necessitates the need for a payment plan, please call the business office at (605) 336-3503 We want to be as understanding and helpful as possible.
