PATIENT BILLING POLICY

Interpath Laboratory will send your claim for laboratory services to your medical insurance company, to Medicare, or to Medicaid. If you do not have medical coverage, we will bill you directly or you may pay at the time of service.

We are contracted with many individual insurance companies, networks, and government medical insurance programs. Because of these agreements, your claim will be settled on the basis of that payor's allowable reimbursement for the test performed. We will write off the difference between the amount billed and the allowed amount. This appears as a "Non-allowed Credit Adjustment" on your bill.

If you are responsible for any portion of the laboratory charges, we will send you our Patient Statement. On this statement, you will find information on how to contact us, the account number, the services provided, payments received, adjustments, and the balance due by you. You may pay this balance by VISA, MasterCard, money order, check, or cash. Payment is due within 30 days of the statement date.

You will receive a separate statement for each Date of Service. Testing for each Date of Service will be assigned a separate account number. For example, if you had laboratory work done in June and in August, you will receive two separate statements, one for each Date of Service. When paying for these balances, you may send one check. Please write both account numbers on the check.
