Alaska Urology

Check with your insurance carrier to see if your provider is in- network . Your insurance may pay at a different rate for “in-network” providers versus “out-of-network” providers   In-network providers make agreements with insurance companies to provide their services for pre-negotiated rates. Out-of-network providers are not contracted by your insurance company, and you may be responsible for paying in full or at a higher percentage.

A co-pay is a set fee established by your Benefit Contract that you pay at the time of service.  Check with your insurance carrier to see if you have a copay. If you do have a copay, please bring payment with you to your visit.
