If your health insurance company provides coverage for care provided at Georgia State University Health Clinic, it is your responsibility to know the limitations and requirements of your plan prior to receiving services. In many cases, your insurance plan may require pre-authorization and possibly an out-of-network referral in order for the service to be covered. If you are unsure of your coverage, please contact the customer service department of your insurance plan. Most companies list their phone number on the back of the insurance card.
Check with your insurance company on how to submit a claim form (companies have different requirements). Typically you must fill out your insurance company's claim form and send it along with a copy of the Billing Invoice. Please arrange for the insurance company to reimburse you.
Georgia State University Health Clinic cannot accept the responsibility for submitting or collecting your insurance claim or for negotiating a settlement on a disputed claim.
