Office Financial Policy
BU Neurosurgical Associates is a hospital-based practice, therefore,
patients will receive 2 bills for services, one for the professional services of the
physician (from BU Neurosurgical Associates) and one from Boston Medical Center for the
facility services.
We are dedicated to providing you with the best possible care and service and we want you
to understand our financial policies. If you have questions about your account, charges,
insurance, or payments, please ask to speak to our Billing Coordinator.
Please bring your insurance identification card to all your appointments so that we may
copy the front and the back of the card for accurate insurance information. This helps us
get the bill to your insurance company quickly and reduces the chance that you will receive
a bill that your insurance should cover.
If you have a managed care plan, you may need an authorization from your health plan for
your visit. In some cases, this is different from a referral from your primary care
doctor. Please check with your primary care doctor or health plan before your appointment
to be sure that your visit will be authorized. If your visit is not authorized by your
health plan, you will be responsible for the bill if your health plan refuses to pay.
