Know the eligibility
The patient may be eligible for medical benefits through an employer, a spouse’s employer, state government (Medicaid), or the Federal Government (Medicare). Many people are eligible for more than one plan.
If more than one insurance plan is available, it will be necessary to determine which benefits are primary and which benefits are secondary. Primary benefits pay the largest portion of the health care cost. Secondary benefits generally pick up the co-insurance and deductibles that the primary insurance does not pay.
We verify insurance coverage when the patient first comes the Cancer Center, and determine what costs they may expect to pay. It is extremely important that to bring copies of all insurance cards when visiting our office. Additionally, it is important to notify us if insurance is no longer in effect or has changed. By doing this we can provide cost-effective care and treatment.
