In summary:

  • Each category of benefits typically has a deductible.  This is the amount you must first pay before the insurance company will even consider contributing to the cost of your care
  • Co-pay(s) are associated with In Network benefits.  The amount of co-pay ranges from $15-75 per office visit.
  • Percentage pay is generally limited to Out of Network benefits.  The insurance will pay a percentage of your visit.  The most common seen in this office are 50/50, 60/40 and 70/30.  The patient is responsible for the smaller percentage.   This can be more cost effective than In Network co-pay, especially if the co-pay is close to the cost of the office visit.
  • Limitations of visits and insurance contribution is seen with both In and Out of Network benefits.
  • Dr. Kanzic accepts all plans and is an OUT of NETWORK provider.
  • Dr. Kanzic accepts assignment on MEDICARE.
