Our Billing PoliciesPayment Policy
Washington
Imaging Services is committed to making your
experience at our facilities as pleasant as possible; even after you complete
your scan. As a convenience to you, we will submit your claim and any secondary
claims to your insurance company under the benefit coverage that you specify.
This includes workers’ compensation, auto insurance, and personal injury.
Insurance claims are prepared and sent on a daily basis. Washington Imaging and
Overlake Imaging’s statements are prepared and sent on a 30 day billing
cycle. These statements will provide an itemization of all account activity.
If you have any questions or concerns about your bill or our billing process,
please call our Billing Office at 425-453-4067 between the hours of 8:00am -
4:30pm. You may leave a message after hours.
Please understand that ultimately,
the patient is responsible for payment of their account, including any balance
not covered by the insurance carrier. At the time of your visit you are responsible
for any known co-pay or deductible, as well as any non-covered service.
Patients
with Insurance Coverage
As a courtesy to our patients we will bill your insurance
carrier if the proper information has been provided. It is necessary for Washington
Imaging Services and Overlake Imaging Associates to obtain a signature from you
to do so. We may also attempt to verify insurance benefits in advance: however,
this is not a confirmation or guarantee of coverage or payment. We will also
be happy to bill most secondary insurance companies.
Pre-authorization may also
be required by some insurance plans prior to your exam. If you have any questions
regarding the pre-authorization requirements of your plan, please check your
policy and/or contact your insurance carrier. You can also call the Billing Department
at 425-453-4067 between the hours of 8:00am - 4:30pm.
Non-Covered Service
Any
imaging services not covered by your existing insurance plan/policy will require
payment in full at the time of the service or upon receipt of denial from your
insurance carrier. We may also be able to work with you on a case-by-case basis
to set up a payment plan for non-covered procedures.
