When you arrive for your appointment, the
receptionist will ask you to complete an information form. As a service
to our patients, we would rather file your insurance claims for you.
Most insurance carriers require the information related to your charges
here at Triangle Orthopaedic Associates, PA in specific coding format
and on a specific type of form. We are able to file claims to most
insurance carriers electronically which usually provides a quicker
response and resolution of your bill. We may ask you a lot of questions
when you arrive for your appointment, however, this information is
necessary to ensure that your claims are filed appropriately to your
insurance carrier. We ask that you notify us immediately in the event
that there are any changes to your insurance coverage, i.e. Your ID #
has changed, or you have changed insurance carriers. Without this
information, your claims will be denied and you may be held financially
responsible for your bills.
If you have a medical problem or need to speak with a
doctor, the doctor or his assistant will return your call as quickly as
possible. Normally this is done when time permits during the schedule
or at the end of the day. When you call, the receptionist will obtain
enough information to insure a helpful response from the doctor. Your
medical chart will need to be reviewed before your call can be
returned.
In an emergency, the receptionist will immediately contact the physician.
