While we welcome walk-in customers at most of our facilities, we strongly recommend that you schedule an appointment in order to ensure that a licensed practitioner is available to properly assist you with your needs. Please call the office closest to you to make an appointment.

Our corporate headquarters are located in Austin and all billing comes out of that office.

Your bill is due within 30 days of the billing date shown on your statement. If you need to arrange for a payment plan or other special circumstances please contact our offices. If payment is not received promptly, we may engage the use of a collections firm.

Please allow time for your payment to be received and posted to your account. Your statement was more than likely sent before your payment was submitted.

Many braces and/or durable medical equipment items require additional information be sent to your insurance carrier to process the claim. In these instances it can take an additional 3 to 9 months to receive final adjudication of your claim.

The products of Medical Express PSI are located at various hospitals, physician offices, clinics and surgical centers throughout the state of Texas in order to provide quick and convenient care for you, the patient. If you receive one of our products at a location other than a company location, your physician or case manager should inform you that you may receive a bill from the items we provide as part of your treatment.

A deductible is the portion of an insurance claim that must be met (or paid) by the patient (or guardian) before any benefits will be paid by the insurance company. It is typically quoted as a fixed amount and is a part of most insurance policies. Depending on your specific insurance policy, there may be different “buckets” of deductibles that must be met based on the types of services that the patient receives.

Co-insurance is the method in which an insurance company and a patient share in costs that are in excess of the deductible amount. Typically, this is expressed as a percentage. As a patient, you are expected to pay (based on your percentage) this amount directly to your provider out-of-pocket. Note that once your out-of-pocket expenses from co-insurance equal the stop loss amount, you will no longer owe any money directly and the insurer will assume responsibility for 100% of any additional costs.

As a patient, you are ultimately responsible for ensuring that your medical goods and services are paid for. At Medical Express, we will always bill your insurance company for any items that will be covered under your policy. If you are receiving a bill personally, it is either because:

1) You have not fully met your deductible amount and owe that money directly. 2) You owe an additional out-of-pocket amount based on your co-insurance percentage. 3) The item or service that was provided is not covered by your specific insurance policy.

Every insurance carrier and plan is different and their rules determine what benefits are covered and not covered. It is always best to contact your carrier directly if you have any questions as to why a claim or item was denied as a non-covered item or benefit. You should also receive an EOB (Explanation of Benefits) from your insurance company that explains what items are covered and not covered based on the items or services that were provided. That document will tell you what amounts you will owe out-of-pocket.

All medical facilities (including ours) require the patient to sign a waiver of liability as part of the patient agreement. This waiver states that the patient is responsible for the cost of services or product provided if their insurance fails to cover the item. We make every attempt to receive payment from the insurance carrier, but each plan is different and some policies will not cover all items.

Many carriers will request these items. We will supply any requests for certificates of medical necessity and/or clinical notes that your carrier requests. If your carrier requires injury information or wants to know about additional insurance information, please respond to those requests immediately. They will not process your claim until you do so and that is your responsibility as a patient.

If payment is pending with your insurance, the line that reads “insurance due” is your insurance’s responsibility. Contact them for further information on their status of payment. “Last payment received” shows any amounts we have received from your primary or secondary if a payment has been made on the claim. If your primary insurance or secondary insurance has not made a payment due to denial of the claim, this will show a zero balance with date we received the denial from your insurance.

No, all E1399 codes are non-billable codes that are considered strictly patient convenience items. Payment on these items is due directly from the patient.

Currently, all Medicare beneficiaries have a deductible of $155 that must be met before any benefits are paid. After the deductible is met, Medicare will cover 80% of the remaining expenses, and the patient is expected to pay for the remaining 20% as co-insurance. If you have a secondary policy along with Medicare, the secondary policy will typically cover both the $155 deductible and a portion of the 20% that is the patient’s responsibility to pay.

Medicaid does not cover any type of bracing for patients that are 21 years of age or older and consequently we must bill the patient directly for those items. Additionally, you may have a Medicaid plan that our company is out of network with. In those circumstances, we attempt to collect from the insurance plan where possible, but that is not always an option.

If this is the case, please provide us with proof of payment by fax or any other method and we will research and credit your account promptly.

Although physicians make every attempt to answer all your questions and keep you informed, they aren’t always able to cover every aspect of a surgery or product needed for your recovery. Your doctor’s foremost concern is your health and recovery and any items we provide coincide with your doctor’s desires for your care. This may include products or equipment that are either not covered or only partially covered by your insurance to ensure you have every available opportunity for a full recovery and return to health.

While we try our best to reach out and contact every patient and notify them of their doctor’s orders and any money that may be owed, it is not always possible to do so. Often times, the equipment we provide is ordered at the last minute and must be delivered as soon as possible in order to facilitate the patient leaving or discharging in a timely manner.

Under certain circumstances, we can offer discounts on items and services that are self-pay (where insurance is not filed on the patient’s behalf). We cannot provide a discount on any insurance-mandated coinsurance and/or deductible amounts.

Due to regulations, once the account has been turned over to a collections firm you must speak directly to them unless you are calling to make a payment.

For larger balances (typically over $200) we can arrange for a payment plan to spread out a balance that is due. Please contact our office if you would like to setup a payment plan.
