FAQ
Billing Questions
Why did I receive a bill from Mid Cities Psychiatry?
- You don’t have health insurance.
- Your health insurance had been termed at the time of the visit.
- The services you received are not covered by your insurance.
- You have a co-payment, co-insurance, or deductible that you did not pay at your visit
- What you paid as a co-payment, co-insurance, or deductible was an estimated payment
- You did not get a required referral from your doctor
- You received care outside your provider network
- You used up your insurance benefits. (Some health insurance companies limit coverage)
I have a Health Safety Net (HSN). Why am I getting a bill?
If you have HSN, (also called Free Care), we bill you if:
- You have an HSN deductible.
- You have private insurance and HSN, but did not pay your private insurance co-payment at your visit
- (HSN does not cover private insurance co-payments)
- You saw a provider who does not accept HSN
- Some medical facilities will not bill patients on Full HSN
- Some medical facilities will reduce bills for patients on Partial HSN by 70%
Why didn’t my insurance pay for my services?
- Your insurance carrier will forward an explanation of benefits (EOB) for your review; the form explains the payment or denial reason for the services rendered
- The services you received are not covered by your insurance.
- You did not get a required referral from your doctor
- You received care outside your provider network
When I paid or didn’t pay co-pay, co-ins, or deductible on my earlier visits, then why on my later visits, I’m asked to pay more or pay for co-pay, co-ins, or deductible?
- The claims take time to get processed or reprocessed anywhere from a week to a number of weeks and sometimes even months. Unless the claims are processed completely by your insurance company, we wouldn’t know how much exactly the co-pay, co-ins, or the deductible would be. Until then everything you paid or didn’t pay is an estimate.
