Insurance and Billing Information
All patients that are referred to AON will have their insurance verified and benefits checked. This will inform us and the patients that the test is covered by their insurance provider. Patients will be notified ahead of time if there is any out-of-pocket cost (i.e. copay, deductible, co-insurance).
All of this information is relayed to the patient or point of contact prior to scheduling.
AON’s billing team is willing to work with our patients as much as needed. We refuse to allow billing to become an obstacle to testing.
