How Will I Pay For Treatment?

What everyone needs to know about insurance

 

Health insurance is likely the most complicated financial instrument you will ever purchase. Most mortgages are straightforward by comparison.

Health insurance coverage depends on a bewildering mix of contracted providers, covered services, and authorization for treatment. And that’s all before a single claim is even filed.

The Kartini Clinic is here to help you navigate the complex world of insurance, but there is only so much we, as providers, can do. You, as the insured member, are ultimately responsible for understanding your benefits. If you have questions regarding your insurance please call us and ask for our business office.

 

Understand your Insurance Policy

 

You should always read the Summary Plan Benefits document that all insurers, by law, must give you. Do not settle for a simple summary. Read and understand this document, before your first appointment.

Whether your insurer is contracted with the Clinic or not, we will try to do everything in our power to help you. We call every patient's insurance company directly in an attempt to get accurate benefit information. A paper copy of the information we are given by insurers will always be provided to you. We strongly urge all patients to verify with their insurer directly the information we provide to you.
