Frequently Asked Questions:

How much will my treatment cost me?
You may be responsible for a certain percentage of what the insurance company deems as the “allowed amount” for a certain medication or service, as well as your co-payment for doctor visits, treatment, and adjustments on your medication. Some insurance companies may also charge you a co-payment for lab work. Co-payments are due at the time of service. If you have any specific questions regarding your insurance coverage, we encourage you to contact your insurance company.

When will I be billed?
You will not be billed for services until after your insurance company(s) pays us. In some cases, you may not receive a statement from us until several months after you visit our office. Statements are sent at the beginning of every month and are due upon receipt.

What if my finances do not allow me to pay my bill in full?
We are sensitive to financial complications that sometimes occur during times of illness. Our knowledgeable Billing Specialists will work with you to make payment arrangements on your account if you are unable to pay in full. We also offer a monthly payment plan.

I don’t understand my bill.
Our Billing Specialists are available at The Zangmeister Center to answer any questions from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday by calling (614) 383-6005.

What if my insurance changes?
If your insurance coverage changes during the course of your treatment or at any time, we ask that you notify us immediately. Always bring your current insurance card with you.
