INSURANCE
It is required that you bring your insurance card to every appointment.
Health insurance is designed to help you meet the cost of medical services. Your insurance contract defines the specific limitations of your policy and it is always your responsibility to understand the coverage your insurance program provides and its referral authorization process. Please present all insurance information on your first visit to our office. We will assist our patients with insurance in any way we can. Patients are responsible for non-covered services and all charges until the deductible is met.
We are network providers with Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Tri-Care, Medcost, Cigna, United Healthcare, Aetna, and NC Medicaid (including Healthy Blue, AmeriHealth, United Healthcare Community Plan, Wellcare and Trillium).
If your child is covered by Medicaid, you must present the card to the receptionist. You must inform us if your child has private insurance in addition to NC Medicaid. Medicaid requires private insurance to be filed first. Our clinic is a Carolina Access provider. If another physician is listed as your child's Carolina Access provider, the visit to our clinic must be authorized in advance. Likewise, if Carteret Children's Clinic is listed on your card as your Carolina Access provider, all visits to other providers must be authorized in advance by our office.
