Insurance terms in plain language
- Copay
- A fixed amount you pay for an eligible visit.
- Deductible
- The amount you pay before the plan begins sharing costs. Deductibles typically reset at the start of each plan year.
- Coinsurance
- The percentage you pay after the deductible is met.
- Out-of-pocket maximum
- The most you generally pay in a plan year for covered in-network services before the plan pays the remaining covered costs, subject to your plan's rules.
Payment and claim processing
We collect the estimated amount due at the start of each visit. After your insurer processes the claim, we refund any overpayment. Final insurance processing can take several months.
The practice may request a front-and-back copy of your insurance card through a secure method to help review benefits. Do not send card images through regular email unless the practice instructs you to use an approved secure process.
HSA/FSA funds may be used for self-pay visits.
