BILLING DEPARTMENT - INSURANCE

As a convenience to our patients, we participate in many different insurance plans/networks. Prior to, or at the time of your office visit, please provide us with appropriate, current/valid insurance carrier information, including applicable claim forms and valid referrals.

Fees for surgical procedures are billed directly to the insurance company by our Billing Department.

OAD's physicians are participating providers for Medicare, and as a result, we will bill Medicare and any secondary insurance carrier on your behalf. OAD accepts Medicare assignment.

We strongly recommend that patients contact their insurance carrier/network Member Services Representative prior to scheduling appointments/services to confirm benefit coverage. We always welcome patients out-of-network, but want to ensure that your insurance carrier provides you with the benefits' information you deserve to make optimal healthcare decisions. Patients often discover that out-of-network coverage is not financially burdensome.

Our Billing Department is available to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have about your charges. Contact our billing staff directly at (630) 225-BILL (2455) between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Finance Charge
If OAD does not receive full payment after 90 days from the date of service, OAD will begin adding interest to the balance at a rate of 1.5% per month, or the highest rate allowed by law, on all amounts due and owing to OAD. In this event, interest shall accrue from the date of service. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked "paid in full") shall not waive any of OAD's rights to collect the full amount due. In addition to the foregoing, the patient shall pay OAD's costs and attorney's fees incurred in collecting any overdue amounts from the patient.

Below are the managed care plans/networks in which OAD currently participates. Please confirm your benefits/coverage with your insurance carrier prior to appointments/services.
Note: Some physicians may not be contracted with certain insurance plans/networks.
