At Rock Creek Neurosurgery, we know that patient and insurance billing, as well as payment methods can be both frustrating and confusing. The following information is meant to provide you with information on your financial responsibilities and billing procedures.
All patients are encouraged to verify and confirm with their insurance carrier to make sure that Rock Creek Neurosurgery is in their care network. As a courtesy, we are happy to file insurance claims for our patients.
Rock Creek Neurosurgery can also provide care for patients as an out-of-network provider. The details of your financial responsibility in this instance should be discussed with your insurance company beforehand. We will file a claim to each patient’s primary insurance carrier first and will then submit to any secondary or supplemental insurance plans a patient may have once the primary carrier has paid. We file claims to Workers’ Comp, motor vehicle, and personal injury insurances. Patients can help us file these claims effectively by providing a copy of their current insurance card and all necessary billing information.
