Prior to Your Call or E-mail

Prior to contacting the Business Office, you will need to have the following information at hand so we can provide you with the best estimate of your financial responsibility:

• A description of services is needed. We will need you to provide as much information as possible about the specific services described by your physician. For estimated surgical quotes, you may be asked to provide us with the specific CPT procedure code which is a five-digit numerical procedure code and can be obtained from your physician. This code will help determine the procedure to be performed and the estimated financial responsibility.
• Physician / Specialist Name providing or ordering the services.
• They will also need information from your insurance card, so please have the card handy. We will need the following information from your card:
  • Name of your health plan
  • Type of plan (e.g. PPO, POS, Indemnity, Commercial HMO, Medicare).
  • Ensure that the Jupiter Medical Center facility of your choice is a participating facility with your health plan.
  • Policyholder’s name (i.e. Subscriber)
  • Policy number
  • Group name and number
  • Health plan’s phone number

To help expedite your estimated financial responsibility calculation, please be able to provide the Business Office your benefits such as your current deductible, current co-payment and or co-insurance amounts. During your call they may need to contact your health plan to verify your eligibility and benefits in order to provide you with the most accurate estimate of financial responsibility.

Once the Business Office has the necessary information, you will be provided with an estimated amount based on the information provided by you and / or your health plan. This estimate is not a guarantee since the services may vary from the services you receive due to treatment decisions and / or unforeseen circumstances or additional test / services ordered by your physician and variation in the clinical needs of each patient.

For all scheduled services, you will be expected to pay your estimated co-payment, co-insurance and / or deductible upon arrival at the Jupiter Medical Center facility of choice. Any variations in your estimated co-payment, co-insurance and / or deductible will be handled after your health plan pays us.
