Office Insurance Plans
Village Medical is proud to accept most major office insurance plans. Many of these plans provide comprehensive coverage for routine check-ups, medications and other services so that patients can get the care they need. If a patient does not have an office plan, Village Medical can still be accessed as out-of-network providers for those with individual policies or Medicare/Medicaid plans.
For those who are self-employed or own their own business, there are options for group health insurance packages that could include all of the employees in one policy. These group plans often offer more competitive rates than those available from individual policies and tend to cover a wider range of medical treatments than an individual plan might.
Regardless of whether you’re insured through your workplace, individually, or under a government health program; Village Medical’s team will work with you every step of the way to make sure you get quality healthcare when it matters most. We understand how important receiving good care is and are happy to provide our patients with reliable access to medical treatment through insurance acceptance.
Medicare and Medicaid Eligibility
Medicare and Medicaid are two of the most popular health insurance programs in the United States. While they may have similar names, their eligibility requirements and services differ greatly. Both are publically funded programs administered by the federal government that provide access to free or low-cost healthcare to qualifying individuals. Medicare is available for people age 65 or older, certain disabled individuals, and those with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
Individuals must meet specific criteria to qualify for Medicaid benefits which vary from state-to-state. Generally speaking, recipients must be under the age of 65, pregnant women and children, members of a certain income bracket or those receiving other forms of assistance such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Some states offer expanded coverage allowing elderly adults over 65 as well as disabled individuals to receive these benefits.
To see if you are eligible for either program it’s best to contact your local health department. Most states have online tools that allow applicants to check their eligibility quickly before making an appointment with a village medical doctor. Once eligibility has been established patients can rest assured that both Medicare and Medicaid will be accepted at all village medical offices nationwide so they can get quality care without having to worry about costs associated with treatment plans given by certified physicians.
Individual Health Insurances Accepted
Village Medical is proud to accept individual health insurance plans from many reputable carriers. These include Anthem Blue Cross, United Healthcare, and Aetna. Plans accepted include both HMOs and PPOs.
Those seeking coverage may wish to consider their plan options in advance of making an appointment at Village Medical. Each insurer offers a variety of individual health plans that differ in terms of cost sharing, deductibles and co-insurance requirements. They may provide different levels of access to certain services or healthcare facilities which can impact the overall value proposition associated with each policyholder’s care experience.
In addition to those aforementioned companies, Village Medical also accepts select Medicare Advantage plans for eligible patients age 65 or older. Plans accepted range from high deductible options to those offering additional vision and dental coverage above traditional Medicare benefits. Prospective patients should contact Village Medical directly for more information regarding these specialized plans as well as other insurers not mentioned here but also accepted at this facility.
Supplemental Insurance Plans
Supplemental insurance plans are an important part of ensuring all medical needs are met. Village Medical not only accepts private health insurance plans, but also can provide a variety of supplemental policies to help cover additional expenses associated with healthcare. These plans may include critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident, and dental coverage. They are designed to pay out benefits regardless of other existing insurance in place, making them beneficial for those who have already maxed out their primary policy or need greater financial protection against unexpected illnesses and injuries.
With these supplemental plans offered by Village Medical, patients will be able to reduce their out-of-pocket expenses if they have health problems that aren’t covered by their regular health plan. For example, critical illness plans are often utilized to assist with uncovered costs related to major illnesses like cancer or heart disease. Patients may be able to receive additional payments on top of what their primary insurance policy provides for the same treatment costs due to the added protection from the supplemental plan. Some supplemental policies may offer cash advances that can help cover living expenses while undergoing medical treatments away from home such as chemotherapy or dialysis visits.
Supplemental dental coverage is another type of plan that is frequently included in Village Medical’s offerings due to its importance in achieving overall physical well-being. From routine cleanings and checkups to fillings and implants needed for more extensive procedures; these packages make it easy for individuals without dental insurance under a primary health plan to access necessary services at an affordable price point with immediate payment on claims processed after office visits.
Self-Pay Policies
For those who wish to go the self-pay route, Village Medical offers several payment plans that make it easier on your pocketbook. Not only do they provide their own in-house financing plan with a 90-day same as cash option, but other installment options are available as well. If you prefer to pay for services in one lump sum, Village Medical also provides discounts for clients who opt into this policy.
One of the benefits of going the self-pay route is that you avoid higher premiums associated with traditional insurance policies and being responsible for copays at each visit. While there are still costs involved when pursuing these payment plans from Village Medical, consumers can rest assured knowing that these fees will not exceed what other local clinics may charge – even if your doctor or hospital is out of network.
Those wishing to pursue a self-pay policy should know that certain services offered by Village Medical may require an authorization letter from their primary care physician before treatment can begin. It’s important to keep this in mind so that unexpected delays don’t arise during what could otherwise be a seamless process.
