They schedule patients but don't verify whether the procedure is covered by insurance or NOT!BEWARE of this diagnostic center.....I came in and they never told me that the ultrasound is not covered by my insurance. Would you believe it! I have 2 insurances AETNA PPO (from my work) and United Health Care PPO (from my husband) and I ended paying the whole ultrasound. I was not told during the visit that my insurance will not pay for it....they made me SIGN the financial policy that I am responsible with my bills....well guess what???? a month after I received a bill.I am NOT even sure if they processed my insurance claims.....they just billed me the whole amount. If they billed it to my insurance I am sure the insurance will NOT pay them the whole billed amount.THEY HAVE A CONNECTION with Physicians and midwives....maybe one of the doctor from Physicians and midwives owns it because when I asked if I can do my ultrasound at INOVA hospital...Physicians and midwives insisted that I go to this place instead.......and made me pay a lot of money despite having two good insurances!!!!I actually called their office as soon as I received the bill...the manager promised they will process my insurance but I ended up receiving a collection letter.I am a working mom so I don't have time to fight ....I just decided to pay it with a HEAVY HEART.I think this office needs to be investigated or reported to authorities......they need to be investigated about "Anti-Kickback compliance or violation".....I was so confused why the office of Physicians and Midwives insisted that I go to this facility even though the patient is asking to be sent to a different facility."IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR FINANCES DON'T GO INTO THIS FACILITY" IF YOUR DOCTOR TELLS YOU TO GO TO THIS FACILITY......ASk if they will pay for your bills just incase this office "mess up".
