Insurance and Billing

Understanding how insurance works shouldn’t add stress to your spine care journey. The office of Dr. Hooman Melamed is here to guide you through every step of the insurance and billing process so you always know what to expect.

Dr. Hooman Melamed accepts many major insurance plans, including Aetna, Humana, Cigna, BlueCross BlueShield, and others. We may be considered an out-of-network provider for some insurance providers; however, many patients are pleasantly surprised to learn that their plans still offer substantial coverage for surgery or other treatments. Being out-of-network doesn’t mean you’re out of options. It simply means that services are billed differently than with in-network providers. Our team is committed to helping you maximize your benefits and understand your potential out-of-pocket costs before you make any final treatment decisions.

Before any procedure, one of our Patient Engagement Specialists will review the details of your specific insurance plan, verify your benefits, and walk you through any prepayment or up-front costs. We believe in transparency at every step of the process and want to ensure you feel completely comfortable with your financial responsibilities from the very beginning.

After your treatment, our billing specialists will handle submitting claims to your insurance company on your behalf. This includes surgery charges, diagnostics, imaging, lab work, and any other services related to your care. Once your insurance processes the claim, they’ll determine your final patient responsibility, which may include a deductible, coinsurance, or copay.

If you have any questions along the way, our friendly staff is here to help so you can focus on your recovery, not your paperwork.
