Questions to ask
It’s a good idea to make an appointment to talk with your medical team’s billing office so you can get answers to these questions:
• Will my insurance cover my treatment and/or surgeries?
• Does my health insurance company need to approve the treatment plan before I
begin treatment?
• How much will my out-of-pocket cost be?
• What if I can’t afford the out-of-pocket cost?
• Will I be turned down for treatment if I can’t pay?
• Are my medications on my health insurance plan’s preferred drug list?
• What is my prescription copay for each medication?
• Will I be billed separately for laboratory tests, such as blood tests? Are they covered under my health insurance?
• Do you offer any payment plans?
