Why Providing Your Insurance Information Matters:
Did you know that insurance companies give hospitals and healthcare providers a limited amount of time to submit claims for payment? This is called the timely filing limit.
If a claim is not submitted within the insurance company's required timeframe, it may be denied, and the patient could become responsible for the balance.
One of the best ways you can help us submit your claims on time is by:
· Presenting your current insurance card at every visit.
· Notifying us of any changes to your insurance coverage before or at the time of service.
· Providing complete and accurate insurance information when registering.
