Usually when a patient is using their insurance for the first time, or for the first time in a new insurance year, they have a deductible which needs to be paid before their treatments are covered. This is why you may be required to pay a bit more for your first (or first few) appointment(s). Once your deductible is paid you will not have to pay it again until your insurance renews the following year or your annual limit is reached.
Unless your policy has full coverage, patients will usually be required by their insurance plans to pay a portion of each treatment. These balances vary by plan so it is best to check with your insurance provider as to what your policy covers.
Deductibles vary by insurance company and by each individual policy. As there is no universal amount for a deductible, it is best to check with your insurance provider as to what your deductible amount is.
Sometimes. Billing multiple insurers or plans is dependent on a variety of factors (primary v. secondary provider etc. ) which are stipulated by the insurance companies themselves. Patients are encouraged to bring in all their direct billing information (see above question 3) and we will submit as much as is possible on their behalf.
