General Billing and Insurance Information
While the Pain Specialists of Charleston Billing Department is readily available for billing and insurance questions, our patients are responsible for a comprehensive understanding of their individual coverage & benefits associated with your particular insurance company.
Please remember that insurance is considered a method of reimbursing the patient for fees paid to the doctor and not a substitute for payment. Some companies pay fixed allowances for certain procedures while other carriers pay a percentage of the charge; It is your responsibility to pay any deductible amount, co-insurance, or any other balance not paid for by your insurance.
If you have recently moved, had a change to your insurance, claims adjustor, attorney, primary treating physician information, or had any other change to your personal information, please supply us with the new information within 10 days of the change so we can keep up-to-date records.
