Insurance/Billing Questions

Private pay fees apply for patients whose insurance is not contracted with Little Spurs. If your health insurance does not cover a visit with Little Spurs, we urge you to call your customer service agent to request they contract with us.

Our private pay fee is an all-inclusive $175 fee.

We take most insurances.

We do accept most Medicaid MCO’s Star and CHIP Products. For a full list of the insurances we take go to our Insurance page.

We do accept BCBS plans, however, on weekends we are unable to verify eligibility. This is due to BCBS updating their computer systems. In lieu of our inability to verify BCBS eligibility, we request a deposit of $145.00 at the time of service.  If preferred a credit card may be kept on file until the following Monday when eligibility can be verified and applicable charges will be processed for any deductible, co-insurance or co- pays due. We do NOT accept the Blue Advantage HMO. We appreciate your help with this matter!

The amount of money the patient must pay before your insurance plan begins to cover services.  Deductibles vary depending on your insurance policy plan and are renewed each calendar year. The deductible applies to all contracted services.

A set percentage of costs that are covered by the patient’s plan after the deductible has been met.  Your insurance plan determines this amount. The plan normally pays the higher percentage and the lower is the patient responsibility.

A fee for an office visit, urgent care or emergency room visit. It is collected each time a patient presents to be seen.  The fee is determined by the patient’s health insurance plan and is required at the time of the visit.

Many families are covered by more than one health plan. The coordination of benefits (COB) process determines which plan pays first.  It also determines if the second plan will pay any remaining charges not covered by the first plan.

An EOB is simply the statement explaining the patient benefit activity.  It includes the services provided, the amount billed and the amount paid, if any paid by the health plan.
