Billing & Insurance

It is our intention to provide and fully explain all financial policies and arrangements. If you do not have insurance, you may be eligible for Arizona’s program for maternity care, Baby Arizona. We will be able to help you process that application. We have contracts with most insurance companies and will bill all insurance companies with whom we participate. If you have any questions about your coverage, referrals, co-pays, etc, or do not have insurance, please call our business office at 520-795-0432.

Payment arrangements can be made with our billing office. Payments are to be made monthly with total payment due one month before your due date. Please see our financial policies and procedures.

If your insurance company has a special form, you must provide us with the completed and signed form as soon as possible. We will bill your insurance at the time of your delivery.

Cost of Obstetric Care:

Vaginal Delivery:
Prenatal & postpartum care

Cesarean Section:
Delivery by cesarean section (Prenatal & postpartum care also covered)

A second surgeon always assists at a cesarean section. This service will be billed separately and may come from a different office.

Hospital Fees:

Fees are determined by the hospital (Tucson Medical Center) and you should contact them directly at 327-5461.
 
Anesthesia:

If you have epidural anesthesia, you will receive a bill from the anesthesiologist.

Lab Fees:

Laboratory fees are billed directly from the lab and you will receive a bill from them. There is a process and handling fee billed from our office for the collection of all specimens. It is very important that labs and other testing be performed at the facility determined by your insurance plan. If your insurance changes please be sure and let the scheduling staff, receptionist, or your provider’s assistant know about the change. Testing sent to the wrong facility will be denied payment by your insurance and will become your responsibility.

Other Testing:

Testing and procedures not performed in our office are an additional cost and will be billed separately by whoever performs the service.
