Learn MoreAssociated Endoscopy accepts most major insurance. We will bill your insurance carrier; however, we cannot tell you what your policy will cover. Since your insurance policy and coverage are between you and your carrier, we urge you to contact them prior to your procedure. You will be responsible for any co-pays and deductibles.
Learn MoreThe procedure itself went beautifully and the staff was amazing, but then I got hit with $1800 in bills for a procedure that is preventative health. They billed it as diagnostic, so insurance applied it to my deductible instead of covering it at 100% under preventative health. Insurance said it needs to be coded as “routine” for preventative health procedures. I called the office multiple times and they refuse to recode it as routine and told me to pay up. Nobody talked to me prior to the procedure to tell me it would be billed as diagnostic and not preventative.
Dr. Lee is great. But I'm highly dissatisfied with billing. I checked my insurance before my procedure and was told, yes Dr.Lee is a network provider for my insurance and my screening would be covered 100%. However, Dr.Lee's office used an anesthesiologist out of my network and now I'm stuck with a $1500 bill from them. I went through all the proper channels Associated Endoscopy suggested on their website about checking first, and still got slapped with a bill. Don't trust their billing department to pay attention. I wasn't aware that everyone I came in contact with that day if I had to ask if they were in my network. I wouldn't be surprised if I got a bill from someone that put a band-aid on me that was out of network. Ridiculous. Do better!
They were able to stop the bleeding and reassured me it was taken care of and will not have any more problems
