INSURANCE METHOD OF PAYMENT

Women's Health Practice will assist in preparing insurance forms to aid in reimbursement. Patients are responsible for bringing all necessary forms and policy information at the time of their appointment.

Women's Health Practice currently has preferred contractual agreements with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, Medicaid (Illinois Department of Public Aid), Tricare/Champus, Unicare, UnitedHealthcare and PersonalCare HMO/PPO/POS. If validity of abortion coverage can be determined the day of the service, all standard agreements regarding acceptance of insurance coverage will be in effect. The patient will be responsible for payment of any co-pay, deductible, or percentage associated with their specific plan. If validity cannot be determined the day of the service, the patient will be responsible for all fees the day of the service.

Many insurance company plans do cover abortions: Blue Cross, Cigna, Healthlink are to name a few. After your appointment is made you can fax your card to us and we can investigate what your coverage might be and which portions of your visit might be covered. Fees will be discussed with you when scheduling and when at your appointment if they have to be adjusted as they may vary according to how far pregnant you are or any special medications you may need.
