BILLING AND INSURANCE INFORMATION
Lewis Clark Imaging is not a participant in any medical insurance plan. Payment is required by day of the appointment. If you'd like we can provide an itemized statement to submit directly to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please be advised, depending on your coverage, your insurance carrier may or may not acknowledge the claim. Although we will try to help you, we cannot be responsible for any reimbursements, or lack there, from your insurance group.
We accept all major credit cards, checks, or cash.
Be Your Own Patient Advocate
The next time your provider orders an MRI or ultrasound you should ask them how much will it cost. Don’t be surprised if they have no idea. However, they will most likely suggest where you should go and often it is a hospital or outpatient imaging center they are affiliated with. Keep in mind, your provider is more concerned with the results of the tests they order, not the price.
The bottom line is that you should decide, not your provider, where you go and who will provide you with the most affordable and professional care.
Why Should I Pay Upfront If I Have Health Insurance?
Today, individuals and families are increasingly transitioning to a high deductible health plan (also known as a HDHP), either by choice or due to employer options, to lower the monthly cost of their insurance coverage. A high deductible health plan means exactly what the name implies. You will pay out a high amount of money (deductible) before the insurance plan starts paying for your medical bills. For example, if you have an individual plan with a deductible of $4,000 and you receive a medical bill in the amount of $1,200 for an ultrasound, the insurance company will not pay anything until you reach your deductible. Therefore, you will pay the entire amount out-of-pocket. Would you rather pay $1,200 for an ultrasound or would you rather pay $399? In other words, would you like to keep $801 in your pocket or give it to a hospital? This is a considerable savings by most accounts.
