Insurance Information

Asthma & Allergy Associates, Inc. suggests that the patient contact his/her insurance company to ensure asthma and allergy services are covered by his/her policy.  

Asthma & Allergy Associates, Inc. recommends that the patient should always check to see if a provider is “in-network.”  This can be done by contacting his/her insurance company.   “Out-of-network” providers may cost the patient more money compared to an in-network provider.  Please check with your insurance company to ensure you, the patient, receive full benefits by choosing an “in-network” physician.

A prior authorization does not guarantee covered benefits.   Coverage and benefit exclusions are the patient’s responsibility.  To ensure appropriate coverage please contact the insurance company.   Taking steps to understanding benefit coverage ensures full benefits for the patient as well as correct payment for services rendered.
