Insurance Questionnaires: If you receive a questionnaire in the mail from your insurance company please complete and return back to your insurance company so your claims can be processed.

Billing and Insurance
Frequently Asked Questions

I’m covered under Medicare. Is there anything I should know about my coverage?

We wouldn’t treat medicare coverage different from any other facility. A non Indian would have to pay the co-insurance of 20% and a Native American patient would receive an adjustment on their 20% because we are an Indian Health Service(IHS) facility. 

I am unable to pay the full amount of my bill at this time. Is it possible to make payment arrangements?

Yes, our policy is 10% of the current balance of the patient due amount with a minimum monthly payment of $30 a month.

Will you file claims to my health insurance for my services?

Yes, as a benefit to the patient we will file the insurance claim.

I would like to have some or all of the services associated with a visit treated confidentially so that they are not billed to my insurance. Is this possible?

Yes, simply inform your doctor who is providing the service to you.

What if I have a question regarding my billing statement?

For questions on your statement call 715-799-5489.

My insurance plan requires a co-payment. Will I be required to pay the co-payment when I check-in for my appointment?

If you’re a medial assistance patient you will be required to pay the co-payment before your appointment after you register you will be sent to billing. For all other general insurance patients we balance bill monthly.
