We urge you to contact your insurance provider before your appointment for more information about your individual coverage.

Payment Terms & Insurance

Carol Milgard Breast Center accepts most major health insurance plans. As a courtesy to our patients, we bill the insurance carrier directly for covered services. If your insurance card is not presented at the time of service, you will receive the bill directly to your mailing address.

Co-pays, deposits, and other co-insurance amounts are due at the time the services are provided. Depending on the insurance coverage, you may be responsible for paying the entire charge and any charges for services not covered by the insurance carrier. Since all the requirements for insurance carriers’ vary, it is the patient’s’ responsibility to know their insurance coverage and follow their procedures.

Based on your insurance coverage and the medical services provided, an authorization or referral from the insurance carrier may be required. Please check with our financial counselors or your insurance carrier to find out if a referral or authorization is needed for your procedure or exam.

We accept cash, check, Visa and Master Card as payment. Monthly statements will include all self-pay balances for services received at Carol Milgard Breast Center. Self-pay balances are expected to be paid in full within 30 days of the receipt of the monthly statement. Payment arrangements may be made within the guidelines set by Carol Milgard Breast Center. For easy payment accessibility, we also offer an online payment service.
