Patients on Medicare

We will bill Medicare. When we receive payment, we will then bill your secondary insurance carrier for the balance. If payment is not made by your secondary carrier within 30 days, we will ask you to contact your insurance company to speed up the payment. If you do not have a secondary insurance carrier, we should receive the balance directly from you within the 30 days.

Patients with Insurance

As a service to you, we will bill your insurance carrier for you. If we have not received payment from your insurance company within 30 days, you will need to contact them. (Note: If you have not provided us with adequate information to bill your insurance company, we will bill you.) As an additional service to you, a representative at the OSF Financial Clearance Center is available to assist you with completing prior authorization and pre-certifications with your insurance carrier(s).
