Insurance FAQ

We know health insurance can be a tricky topic. So, we’ve broken down the most important aspects of health insurance by defining key terms and answering commonly asked questions.

How can your health insurance company help you?
Health insurance companies help by lowering the cost of general and specialty healthcare services. Additionally, they can act as a resource to help answer questions and guide you to a provider that meets your needs.: What does in-network mean?

Example: You go to a doctor that’s in-network and the total charge is $250. A discount is applied to that amount for our negotiated rate with the doctor. The discount is $75. Your insurance pays $140. You’ll have to pay the remainder, which is $35.: Why doesn’t a provider accept my insurance?
If you’re looking for a specialist, keep in mind they may not accept your insurance if they and your insurance carrier were unable to negotiate discounted services. We recommend calling Dr. Michael K. Rao, M.D., M.P.H., M.S. office to confirm if they take your insurance.
