- It is the patient’s responsibility to provide Missouri Heart Center with their insurance billing information at the time of service. Insurance and pharmacy cards will be copied as needed, but verified at each visit.
- If a patient’s insurance company requires a referral, it is the patient’s responsibility to request the referral from their primary care physician. Patients unable to secure the referral prior to the visit will be asked to sign a form acknowledging that they may be financially responsible.
- The patient’s insurance plan may require a prior authorization for certain radiological or surgical procedures. Approval is required by most participating plans. Patients that request a procedure, which has not been authorized, will be asked to sign a statement of patient responsibility.
- Patients presenting with job-related injuries need to inform the front office staff at time of visit that the injury is job-related. A call will be made to the employer to verify approval of services and obtain appropriate billing information.
- Missouri Heart Center does not become involved in third-party disputes. Per your request, Missouri Heart Center will file these charges with your medical insurance.
