Our team is committed to helping you and your patients navigate the complexities of insurance reimbursement:

  • Patient Responsibility: We will estimate your patient’s likely out-of-pocket responsibility at the same time of insurance verification. If the estimated patient responsibility is more than $350, we will attempt to notify you and/or your patient prior to performing the test.
