20. What is the name of your Insurance Company.

Thu Oct 30, 2014, 03:02 PM

If it's a nationally known insurance company you are probably safe? The easiest way you can check is to check with your insurance company's list of approved providers. Also call your provider and ask them, your doctor will let you know.

On edit, your insurance company does not negotiate rates based on your plan level. They pay the doctor the same amount for their Bronze customers as they do their Platinum customers. The difference between the plans is your deductible and services offered not the level of service.
