Billing Policy

Interpath Laboratory will send your claim for laboratory services to your medical insurance company, Medicare, Medicaid as a courtesy. If you do not have medical coverage, we will bill you directly or you may pay at the time of service.

Insured Patients

We are contracted with many individual insurance companies, networks, and government medical insurance programs.

While Interpath Lab may have an agreement with your insurance plan, it is your responsibility to verify whether your specific policy is in network. It is the patient’s responsibility to ensure the lab testing requested is a covered benefit and if there are any restrictions to testing such as prior authorizations before receiving lab services. Failure to do so may result in you paying an increased out-of-pocket for your services. It is also your responsibility to understand your coverage and benefits provided by your insurance plan.

Your insurance company makes the final determination of eligibility, coverage, and total balance payable. You may be presented with an Insurance Waiver or Medicare ABN (Advanced Beneficiary Notice). These waivers allow you to be financially responsible for lab testing that may be denied by your insurance. You may choose to have testing done and be financially responsible for denied services or you may choose to decline, and the lab testing will not be performed at your request.

Providing current and valid insurance is patient responsibility. Although your provider may submit this information to us on your behalf, it remains your responsibility to contact us with your most current information if you receive a bill from us. Failure to provide the business office with valid insurance within these guidelines may result in being held responsible for any denied claims related to timely filing.

Uninsured Patients

As an uninsured patient you are provided with a discount that will automatically be applied when confirmed that you do not have insurance coverage.

You may be asked to pay in full at the time of service for the amount you are responsible for.

Patient Responsibility

If you are responsible for any portion of the laboratory charges, we will attempt to send you our Patient Statement. On this statement, you will find information on how to contact us, the account number, the services provided, payments received, adjustments, and the balance due by you. Payment is due within 30 days of the statement date. For faster service you can pay online or by phone via our touchtone phone payment system.

Interpath Lab offers payment plans for larger balances. We require an ACH auto draft as well as electronic statements to qualify for monthly payments.

There will be a $35.00 fee applied to all NSF payments including credit card disputes for valid charges.
