Insurance

There are thousands of different insurance health plans, each with rules and regulations specific to the plan. As your healthcare provider, Oakdale Ob/Gyn is obligated to follow those regulations in how we report services provided to you. With the great complexity of healthcare insurance coverage, we rely on you to be aware of what your health insurance does and doesn't cover.

Please click on the links below for more information on the insurance companies contracted with Oakdale OB/GYN:

We file claims to all insurance companies. However, if Oakdale Ob/Gyn is not contracted with that insurance, you will be responsible for any unpaid balance that is considered out of network.

 

Co-payments and Deductibles

Co-pays and deductibles are always determined by your insurance plan.

 

Referrals

Many insurance plans may not pay for procedures or visits that are recommended or ordered by your healthcare provider. On occasion, a provider may recommend treatment by another provider outside of our clinic. If your health insurance plan requires a referral, please be aware that, since our clinic is not considered a primary care clinic, but a specialty clinic, we are unable to provide a medical referral. Only your primary care clinic can provide medical referrals. Please be sure that you are familiar with what your insurance plan does and does not cover and when referrals are required. If referrals are required, always secure your referral prior to scheduling specialty procedures. This will prevent any unexpected delays in payment or denial of services.

 

Coding for Services

All healthcare providers bill services using billing codes. These codes tell the insurance company what was done and why. Routine and preventive services cause confusion for many patients. It is not uncommon for patients in the course of a visit to receive both treatment for a problem and a preventive service. When this occurs, we are required to charge for both services.

 

Lab Services

The majority of our lab services are processed and billed by a reference lab. The reference labs used are not owned by Oakdale Ob/Gyn Therefore, for all lab tests sent to our reference lab, and for all pathology/cytology tests, you will receive a separate bill for lab services from the reference lab.

Missed Appointment Charge

If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment, please call to inform us prior to the visit at 763-587-7000. We request notification as soon as you know that you will not be able to keep the appointment so that we can open that reserved time for other patients in need.

Due to the high cost of missed appointments, you will be charged a $75 appointment fee for appointments that are made and not attended, for which we did not receive prior notice of cancellation.

Please direct all business-related concerns to our business office at 763-587-7035.
