Billing FAQs
What is a telehealth/ telemedicine appointment, and does it serve as a visit?
A telehealth visit is conducted via a computer, tablet, or smartphone. This type of visit allows your healthcare provider to care for you without an in-person office visit. A telehealth visit is still an appointment that will be billed to your insurance.
Why is the telehealth visit only a few minutes, and how is it considered a visit?
Providers from DHC do not base telehealth visits on time. Our physicians select the level of outpatient evaluation and management which is based on medical decision making.
Why is my telehealth visit billed as an office visit?
A telehealth appointment is a visit that is billed as such. Instead of seeing the provider in person, you are having your visit virtually. The physician is still providing care.
Why am I getting a bill from my provider if I have insurance?
Responsibility for paying medical bills is apportioned between the patient receiving care and their insurance provider. Most insurance carriers require the patient/policyholder to pay a co-pay, co-insurance, out-of-pocket cost, and a deductible. If you receive a bill, your policy has one or more of the above specifications. Especially if your deductible has not been met. Please always reference your explanation of benefits that are provided by your insurance career.
How much will a visit or procedure cost me?
You should contact your insurance carrier to ask about the cost you may incur. The provider does not have the exact amount you will be billed. You must factor in if you have a copay, co-insurance, out-of-pocket cost, or a deductible. The amount you will incur is based on different variables, and the most accurate answer will be from your insurance carrier.
What is Screening Colonoscopy?
A Screening Colonoscopy is a service performed on an asymptomatic (a person affected by a condition but producing or showing no symptoms of it) person for the purpose of testing for the presence of colorectal cancer or colorectal polyps. Whether a polyp or cancer is ultimately found does not change the screening intent of that procedure. Depending on the patient’s insurance carrier, this procedure is covered once a year, every 5 years, or every 10 years.Â
At what age is a Screening Colonoscopy covered?
 A “screening” colonoscopy is often recommended starting at age 45. Most health insurance companies cover colorectal cancer screening starting at age 45.
What is Diagnostic Colonoscopy?
A “diagnostic” colonoscopy is a colonoscopy that is done to investigate abnormal symptoms, tests, prior conditions, or family history. Depending on your insurance plan, a diagnostic colonoscopy may include out-of-pocket costs for patients (such as co-pays or deductibles).
Why am I receiving separate bills after my procedure?
Digestive Healthcare Center and Central Jersey Ambulatory Surgical Center are separate entities. Anesthesia, Pathology, the Facility, and the physician conducting the procedure all bill for the services rendered.
Why am I no longer allowed to have an Audio Visit?
Since the Public Health Emergency has ended, insurance carriers no longer cover audio visits. They prefer that patients have an in-person or telehealth visit with their provider.
