Billing for Office Visits and Coumadin
Checks:
All office visits
and Coumadin checks will be billed through Orlando Health
Physician Group for services rendered. This will be a
separate bill for the services rendered by the physician or
allied staff.
Billing for
Diagnostic Testing in the office:
All diagnostic
testing done at Orlando Heart Center’s offices will now be
billed by Orlando Health. Because the testing facility is
now owned by Orlando Health, the hospital may bill a
“facility fee” for diagnostic testing. You will receive a
bill from the hospital for the facility fee.
This fee covers the cost of the
clinic space, supplies and other items.
You will also receive a separate
bill from Orlando Health Physician Group which includes the
physician’s time and services for the interpretation of
testing performed in the clinic. Previously, this would have
been on one combined bill from Orlando Heart Center, now you
will receive two separate charges.
The hospital and the physician
will both bill your current insurance.
Please remember to bring your
insurance card to every visit for verification.
Co-Pays:
If your insurance plan requires a co-pay
for outpatient hospital clinic visits, please be prepared to
pay at the time of your visit.
Deductible/Co-Insurance:
Since Orlando Heart
Center is now considered an outpatient clinic, which is a
hospital department, depending on your insurance carrier you
may be responsible
for paying a higher out-of-pocket amount in the form of your
deductible and/or co-insurance. Please make sure to contact
your insurance plan prior to the appointment so that you are
aware of your plan’s hospital deductible and/or
co-insurance.
Since insurance plan deductibles
and co-insurances vary in price, it is
extremely important for you to understand your financial
responsibility.
Referrals or
Authorizations:
If your insurance
plan requires a written referral or authorization from your
primary care physician, you must bring it with you or have
it sent to our office prior to your visit. Without it, your
appointment may have to be rescheduled.
