                                 Insurance and Billing Information

 

CHO accepts most insurance plans and can work with patients on an individual basis. We request you have your current insurance subscriber card with you at each visit so that we may keep your information up to date and file your claims efficiently  For insured patients, we must request payment of your co-pay amount at your visit. We accept the following health care providers:

 

Medicare & Medicaid

BCBS

United Healthcare

Aetna

Multiplan Network

Cigna

Medcost

Tricare

Most Worker’s Compensation insurance carriers

 

For patients without insurance, we request payment at the time of service to balance your account and avoid billing expenses. For patients with financial hardship, we will work with you regarding a payment plan. Our business office can answer other questions you may have about insurance and payment plans.
