FAQ
- Why do I owe anything when I have insurance?Most insurance plans require you to pay a portion of your medical care as part of their coverage. The percentage you will pay varies depending on your plan. Your statement will categorize your balances as co-insurance (co-pay) or deductible, as applicable. Neither of these amounts are decided by your healthcare providers and are pre-determined by your insurance plan/insurance carrier.
- What is the difference between a co-pay and deductible?Co-payment: this is the amount you will pay in addition to whatever amount your insurance has/will pay. Deductible: this is the amount you must pay out-of-pocket BEFORE your insurance will pay for your care.
- Why don't I see any previous payments that I made on my statement?Our statements only list information related to current charges, balances, and insurance adjustments. If you need a payment history report, please contact us: billing@pkbiosci.com
- What if I have no insurance or asked for my health insurance to not be billed?You may see a CASH fee on your statement. If you have updated billing information or want us to re-process your charges, please contact us.
- What if I have an HMO plan?HMO plans require a PCP (primary care physician) referral for your medical care expenses to be covered. Without a referral, you will be required to pay out of pocket for your care. If you need assistance obtaining a PCP referral, please let us know.
- What if I cannot afford my bill?We have flexible and affordable payment options, including monthly payment plans. We also offer a financial hardship discount program. More information about this plan is available below this FAQ section. Please contact us if you have questions.
- Why did I get a bill from my insurance company?Any time a healthcare provider bills your insurance company, they send you remittance advice. This is not a bill. Remittance advice is informational only, please wait to receive a bill from Peak Biosciences before calling.
- Why did my claim get denied?There can be several reasons for your insurance company to deny a claim, including incomplete/outdated information as well as a maximum number of tests allowed per year. Your provider will only order testing that they deem medically necessary for your care.
- I have more questions, who can I speak to?Our dedicated billing team can be reached via email at billing@pkbiosci.com
