Our Payment Policy

Cost and Eligibility

• If you’ve been diagnosed with 2 unstable (not at your treatment goal) chronic illnesses or 1 chronic illness with complications, you qualify for participation!

• All other benefits of the program are included.

• All services are billed to your insurance, often with nothing more than the cost of a copay!*

​

The services provided through the MiHealth Wellness Program are billed to your insurance.  Every insurance plan is different, and if your plan applies any copays or costs towards your deductible, you will be responsible for these costs as required by law.  Our primary goal is to help improve patients' lives and we feel that adding an additional financial burden is counterproductive to that goal.

 

Unfortunately, we are required by law to attempt to collect any outstanding balance not paid by insurance (co-pay).  Fortunately, during the COVID pandemic period, Medicare allows waiving of remote patient monitoring co-payment at our digression (which we are happy to do at your request).  

After the pandemic period (or if Medicare requires specific service co-payment), we will accept minimal monthly payments to be credited toward the outstanding balance if requested by the patient. The usual payment is $10.00/mo; however in certain circumstances of hardship, we will accept payment over $1.00 per month.

 

Since Medicare can require the attempted collection of co-pay but can not dictate what we do with that payment...

IT IS OUR POLICY THAT ALL MONEY COLLECTED DIRECTLY FROM PATIENTS WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITY.
