Understanding your ASDC bill and insurance coverage can often seem overwhelming. That’s why we want to provide the information you need in an easy and informative way.  You’ll find the answers to most of your questions right here. If you still have questions, please call ASDC Billing Office at 888-786-0607

Pre-Certification
It is essential for you to know if your insurance or PPO care plan requires pre-certification for outpatient services. We will verify your insurance and inform you of any co-pays and deductibles prior to your study. You will be asked to pay known deductibles amounts at the time of service. You will be billed for any balance identified by your plan. You will not be billed for disallowed amounts as defined by the terms of our agreement with the PPO care plan. If you have verified secondary insurance coverage it will be billed for the full balance remaining after the primary PPO care plan pays. Secondary insurance is not subject to the terms of an agreement with another plan. Please present your plan ID card before, or at the time you register.
Medicare
ASDC is a participating provider with the Medicare program and therefore accepts assignment of benefits. Medicare patients may be asked to pay known deductibles and co-insurance amounts at the time of service. We will also file your assigned supplemental insurance coverage on behalf of Medicare patients once Medicare has paid and the explanation of benefits is available for supplemental billing. Please present your Medicare card and provide information about supplemental coverage before, or at your appointment.

Private or Self Pay
If you have no third-party coverage you will be asked to pay 25% of what is owed at the time of service for outpatient services.  A pre-admission deposit will probably be required before services are provided. If you are not able to pay in full at the time of services you will be referred to a financial counselor, who will help you make financial arrangements for all or part of your charges. The financial counselor may refer you to our Social Services Department if you could qualify for some form of government assistance.

Payment Options
ASDC provide numerous alternatives for patients to pay outstanding debt. These include, but are not limited to cash, personal check, money order, credit card, short-term payment plan and referral to reputable lending institutions. Our financial counselors are prepared to help you identify the most appropriate payment option for you. We accept Visa and Mastercard as well.

Delinquent Accounts
ASDC consistently refer delinquent accounts to outside collection agencies for recovery after a prescribed number of written and verbal contacts with the debtor have not resulted in full payment.
