Customer service and friendly billing are important to us. We work closely with our clients to make this process as simple as possible. At the time of billing, our team sends our patients information in regards to the billing process to clarify the involved steps and to streamline the process. We work diligently with each health insurance company to make this process as simple as possible for you. At all times, you should feel free to contact our billing department at: (424) 245-7284 should you have any questions or should you need any assistance with billing related matters.
PathMD accepts Medicare as an insurer. Medicare has specific payment schedules, and typically, pays for only 80% of the accepted bill amount. The additional 20% is either paid by patients or by their secondary insurance plan. When provided with the necessary secondary billing information, PathMD will bill the secondary insurance carrier for the remainder of the Medicare balance as a courtesy to our patients.
Since each private health insurance company has numerous insurance products, including types of coverage and patient allocated deductibles, we have billing experts that will work with your insurance companies to facilitate with this process and to make it as simple as possible. We work closely with our patients throughout this process.

Yes we will bill your insurance carrier, your bill from PathMD services are for outpatient laboratory testing (such as biopsies and pap smears) performed at your physicians’s office or surgery center. If you have workers compensation insurance, we will submit a claim for your pathology tests and you will not receive a bill from PathMD.
PathMD will submit a claim to your insurance carrier as identified by your physician. Once your claim has been processed by your insurance carrier, you will receive an Explanation of Benefits from your insurance. This is NOT a bill. You do not need to pay anything until you receive a statement from PathMD. The statement will have on it what is required for you to pay to bring your account current including any deductible, copay or coinsurance.
An EOB is a statment issued by your insurance company that states the portion of the total pathology charge that they believe is owed based on their processing of your claim and verifying your insurance benefits. An EOB will be issued after the claim is processed. At PathMD we will appeal claims that are erroneously denied, underpaid or have errors on them. Such appeals will result in additional EOBs and sometimes additional payment to the labratory.
Unfortunately, there is a potential for errors when processing insurance claims. Even when information is correct errors in processing by your insurance company sometimes occur. Also, such EOBs will not apply billing policies unique to PathMD. For these reasons, please await your PathMD Pathology Services statement for the most accurate out of pocket expense owed by you for your pathology services.
From time to time your insurance carrier may elect to send payment for the services performed by PathMD directly payable to you. If you do receive payment from your insurance carrier please send a copy of the EOB, endorse the check and send it to the PathMD billing address provided below for processing. In lieu of this, you may also choose to send your own personal check or pay by credit card and deposit the insurance check. You can easily make a payment using our online bill pay option when paying with a Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or a Discover Card. We also accept personal checks and money orders made out to PathMD Inc. and mailed to the address below. In either case we will need you to send in payment along with a copy of your Explanation of Benefits so that payment can be properly posted to your account and your account does not go into a delinquent status.
Depending on your insurance coverage; you may receive a bill from PathMD. You may also receive a bill if you do not have insurance coverage or if we did not receive your insurance information.
