Insurance, Fees, and
Billing
As a courtesy, we will initiate a claim to your insurance
company on your behalf. Midwest Ear, Nose and Throat
Consultants, Ltd. is contracted with most major insurance
companies, HMOs and PPOs. Claims will be submitted as
“insurance assignment” which authorizes payment to be made
directly to our office. In order to file a claim we must
have all your insurance data, a signed authorization form
and a valid insurance card at each time of service.
We are required by our contracts with your insurer to
collect co-payments for services at the time they are
rendered. You are responsible for any deductibles,
co-insurance, and non-covered services. Please keep in mind
that insurance is a method for patients to be reimbursed
for the fees they have paid for medical services. Your
insurance coverage is a contract between you and your
insurance company, not our office; therefore, you are
responsible for full payment of your account when due. If
you insurance company does not pay the claim within 45-60
days, you may also be required to take an active part in
the recovery and payment of your claim.
Midwest Ear, Nose & Throat Consultants, Ltd. accepts
cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard and Discover. If
there is an unusual financial difficulty in your family
that necessitates the need for a payment plan, please call
the business office at (630) 668-2180. We
want to be as understanding and helpful as possible.
