Insurance and Billing
We participate in most insurance plans and will file your insurance claim for you.
To ensure accurate billing, you will be asked for current insurance information each time you check in for a MNGI appointment. Please alert our reception desk to any changes in insurance or personal information.
When you have an outpatient procedure, such as a colonoscopy, you will receive more than one bill. One statement will be from the MNGI physician who performed the exam. You will also receive a second, separate statement from the endoscopy center or hospital where the procedure was performed. Finally, if lab work or a biopsy was required, you may receive additional bills for those services as well.
If you are scheduled to have a screening colonoscopy, you may wish to verify your insurance coverage for both screening and diagnostic procedures before your appointment. This may change your coverage and/or out-of-pocket expense.
