Submitting a Claim to Insurance
For patients who have insurance from one of our participating insurance carriers, Andrews Sports Medicine will submit all claims and necessary supporting documentation on your behalf.
Deductibles & Co-Payments
Most insurance policies today include provisions for out-of-pocket deductibles and co-payments. A deductible is a pre-determined amount of money for which you are responsible before your insurance benefits kick in. A co-payment is a flat rate you are expected to pay up-front for specific services, and does not count toward your deductible.
The amount of your deductible and/or co-payment will vary based on your plan. Any co-payment required by your plan will be collected at the time of your visit. Payments may be made by cash, personal check (no greater than $200), VISA, MasterCard or Discover Card.
