What happens if a procedure or test is not covered by my insurance?


If a cardiovascular procedure or diagnostic test recommended by your provider at Cardiovascular Medical Associates is not covered by your insurance plan, you will likely be responsible for the full cost out of pocket. In these cases, your insurance company will not contribute to the expenses, and you may receive a bill from our office for the entire amount.

Before scheduling any procedures or tests—such as echocardiograms, stress tests, or vascular studies—it is important to verify coverage with both your insurance carrier and our billing team. We encourage you to contact us directly or use our online insurance resources to determine whether a specific service is included in your plan. If you discover that a procedure is not covered, our office can provide an estimate of your financial responsibility and discuss any alternative tests or treatments that may be covered.

Our staff can also assist you in navigating the insurance process. In certain situations, we may be able to submit additional documentation to your insurance company to demonstrate the medical necessity of a procedure, which might help obtain coverage. If your claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision with your insurer, and we can provide supporting information as needed.

We understand that healthcare costs can be a concern. Cardiovascular Medical Associates offers payment plans and can discuss financial assistance options if you need help managing out-of-pocket expenses. By staying informed about your insurance coverage and communicating with both our office and your insurance company, you can help avoid unexpected bills and ensure you receive the care you need.

What is your policy for a late or denied insurance claim?


At Cardiovascular Medical Associates, we understand that dealing with insurance claims can be stressful, especially when there are delays or denials. Our dedicated billing team is here to support you every step of the way.

If Your Insurance Claim is Delayed:
Our billing specialists will proactively communicate with your insurance provider to identify the reason for any delay and will work diligently to expedite the claims process. We will keep you updated regarding the status of your claim and promptly inform you if any additional documentation or information is needed from your side to help resolve the matter efficiently.

If Your Insurance Claim is Denied:
Should your insurance claim be denied, our team will carefully review the explanation of benefits (EOB) and contact your insurer for clarification if necessary. We will help you understand the reason for the denial and, when appropriate, provide guidance on how to file an appeal or submit any required documentation. Our goal is to make sure you receive the benefits to which you are entitled.

After your insurance claims have been processed, any remaining balance not covered by your insurance will become your responsibility. For your convenience, Cardiovascular Medical Associates offers a variety of payment options to help manage any out-of-pocket expenses.

What payment methods do you accept for copays and other balances?


At Cardiovascular Medical Group, we strive to make the billing and payment process as straightforward as possible for our patients. We accept a wide range of payment methods for copays, deductibles, and outstanding account balances. For your convenience, payments can be made using major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover), debit cards, personal checks, or cash at our office.

We also offer a secure online payment portal, accessible through our website, for patients who prefer to pay their balances electronically. If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), these cards are typically accepted as long as they are affiliated with standard payment networks.

If you have any questions about your bill or need assistance with payment options, our front desk staff is always available to assist you. For more information or to access our online payment portal.

Do you offer payment plans for patients with high deductibles or those who are uninsured?

To support our patients, we offer flexible payment plan options designed to fit your financial situation. Our goal is to ensure that you have access to the quality cardiovascular care you need without added financial stress.

If you have questions about your out-of-pocket costs, coverage with your specific insurance plan, or are concerned about affordability, our dedicated billing team is here to help. We can review your insurance benefits, explain your estimated costs, and work with you to establish a payment plan that makes managing your medical expenses easier.

We are committed to working with you so you can focus on your heart health, not financial worries. For more information, contact us or book an appointment online.

At Cardiovascular Medical Associates, we work with insurance companies to help our patients obtain the vital heart treatments they need.

To help avoid high out-of-pocket expenses, it is important to understand your health insurance coverage. Before certain procedures and surgeries can be performed, many insurance companies require prior authorization.

Our staff will work with your insurance plan to ensure that you have the coverage you need for the treatments we recommend. Having a personal understanding of your policy’s coverage can further help you avoid financial complications during treatment.

Heart treatments often involve complicated medical procedures, tests and follow-ups. Ensuring that you maintain adequate medical coverage is crucial. Gaps in coverage can make it difficult to regain coverage and can lead to high out-of-pocket expenses.

Patients who are uninsured will be responsible for treatment costs.

At Cardiovascular Medical Associates, we are dedicated to helping our patients not only understand their medical condition and treatment options, but their insurance coverage as well.

Our staff would be happy to answer any questions or concerns you have about our billing procedures and the insurance plans that we currently accept. For additional questions or more information on your health insurance plan, call the number found on the back of your insurance card
