You will receive a separate billing for any of the above services. Please pay these charges within 30 days of receiving the statement.

As a courtesy, a representative of our business office will contact your insurance company to verify that you will be covered for the global obstetrical fee. This allows us to determine your responsibility. Our business office representative will send you a written statement of the amount for which you are responsible. This amount is due in full by your eighth month.

You can direct any questions regarding coverage for additional services or hospitalization to your insurance company.

If you do not have health insurance, please pay the global fee and any additional charges in full by your eighth month. We will be happy to bill you in monthly installments for this amount.

If your insurance company requires precertification for your hospital stay, we will begin the process when we verify your benefits. However, you or your family members are responsible for notifying your insurance company at the time of your admission to the hospital.

We hope this information will help you prepare and plan for your obstetrical care with our clinic. Please remember that we are here to assist you in any way possible.

Thank you for choosing us to provide your care. If you have billing questions, please call us at 952.841.9480. Or if you would prefer, you can email our business office at businessoffice@obgynpa.com.
