Insurance and Billing Information

Athens Gastroenterology Center accepts a wide range of insurance plans. To help ensure your visit is covered, please verify the following with your insurance provider:

• If the physician and facility are in-network for your plan
• If your physician is at your preferred tier level
• Your annual deductible and co-payment details
• Whether a referral is required for your visit

If a referral is necessary, please make sure it is submitted at least 48 hours before your appointment to avoid any delays.

We will work directly with your insurance to submit primary, secondary, and tertiary claims on your behalf. However, if the necessary information is not provided before your visit, you may be responsible for any outstanding balances.
