If you do not see your insurance plan listed above, please contact your carrier to see if we have been added to their list of preferred providers.

Referral Information

If your insurance plan requires a referral for you to see us, you are responsible for obtaining a referral authorization from your primary care physician. If we have not received an authorization prior to your arrival at the office, your non-emergent appointment may need to be rescheduled. If you are having a test performed in our office, we will take care of obtaining any necessary referrals or authorizations for the test for you (if you have Blue Cross/Blue Shield coverage, please read the note below).

NOTE for patients with BLUE CROSS/BLUE SHIELD having a Nuclear Stress Test:

Some BC/BS plans require that the PATIENT call in to their BC/BS customer service department to notify them they are having certain radiological tests such as Nuclear Stress Tests, CT Scans and PET Scans. Please call the BC/BS customer service number on the card prior to your appointment.

Co-pay

If your insurance contract requires that you pay a co-payment for office services, it will normally be clearly printed on your insurance card. Some policies require that their subscribers only pay a co-payment for office visits, while others require a co-payment for each encounter. As policies vary widely, our policy at Midwest Cardiology Associates is to collect a co-pay only when you are scheduled to see one of our Providers. If you are scheduled for a test only, we will not collect a co-pay at the time of service. However, you may be billed for a co-pay after your insurance claim has been processed, if your carrier assesses one. Please contact your carrier if you have any questions about your co-payment obligation.

Do I need to show my insurance card at each visit?

A patient's insurance plan, ID Number or Group Number may change at any time throughout the course of the year. We ask to see the card at each visit to ensure sure we have current information. Inaccurate insurance information can delay payment and may lead to increased medical costs for all patients.
