Patients with Insurance Benefits
If you have insurance benefits that you would like to use for your visit, following is our policy for in-network and out-of-network health plans:
In-Network Plans: NYWIMG currently participates with most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, GHI, HIP, and Medicare (to see a complete list, please visit our insurance page). If you are covered by one of these plans or others in which NYWIMG is "in-network", we will submit an insurance claim on your behalf. You will be required to pay your copayment at the time of service. Additionally, we require that you provide us with a valid credit card or debit card authorization to pay for any balances that may remain on your account after your insurer processes the claim or after 30 days. We will attempt to collect the full amount allowable from your insurance plan. However, in the event that there are deductibles, co-insurance, or other amounts for which you are responsible, we will charge your credit or debit card for the remaining balance on your account.
Out-of-Network Plans: If you are covered by a health plan in which NYWIMG is "out-of-network" or does not participate, we require that you pay for your charges at the time of service. We will give you a discount off of our standard fees, and we will also give you a claim form that you can submit to your insurance company to instruct them to send reimbursements directly to you.
Self-Pay Patients
If you do not have health insurance benefits or if you do not want us to file an insurance claim on your behalf, then all charges are due at the time of service. Because you are paying at the time of service, we will give you a discount off of our standard fees.
Acceptable Forms of Payment
For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover as well as cash and checks (U.S. banks only).
