Verification Tips

  • Check Your Network: Insurance carriers often have multiple networks (e.g., PPO, HMO, Open Access). Even if a carrier is listed, your specific sub-plan must be in-network.
  • HMO Referrals: Remember that HMO plans require a written referral from your primary care doctor before your visit to Piedmont Eastside Rheumatology to avoid out-of-network charges.
  • Self-Pay Option: If we aren’t currently in-network with your insurance, you’re still welcome here! For your convenience, we collect the self-pay fee at the start of your visit.
