Policies and Procedures for Antepartum Care
Per AMA's Physicians' Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) guidelines routine antepartum care for a normal, uncomplicated pregnancy consist of typically 13 visits. If increased monitoring for high-risk conditions in excess of the CPT guidelines for normal antepartum visits is needed, a patient may be charged for the visit outside the normal global fee. The most common illness are and may be billed a copay if not covered by your insurance company.
All illness oriented visits (i.e. UTI, Bronchitis, pharyngitis) and hospitalizations due to complications are outside the global and are billed separately and patient may be required to pay co-pay at time of visit.
Itemized Services:
This applies to the following patients: For those that are uninsured at the start of the pregnancy and later become insured; or who are insured by one insurance carrier at the start of the pregnancy, and then deliver while insured by a different insurance company than they originally started with; or who miscarry or transfer to another facility for the duration of care. The birth will be billed as a delivery only charge, in addition to any other hospital services that are provided. It is important that the patient notify us immediately once they become effective with a new insurance carrier. Prior-Authorization must be obtained before you are admitted to the hospital for the birth of your child.
Self-Pay Patients:
Patients who have no insurance coverage, we expect that you will pay in monthly increments so that when you deliver the charges will be paid in full. We are happy to set up a payment plan that suits both yours and our needs. If you need to set up a payment plan with Fair Oaks Hospital, please call (703) 645-2864 once you start to go into labor.
Circumcision Of Male Infants:
Please note that this is a separate charge from the delivery and is charged under your infant's name, with exception to a few insurance companies. For this reason, we will need you to supply us with the child's full name and insurance information. Please let us know if the child is insured through the father under a separate policy from the mother
Finally, we want to encourage you to familiarize yourself with your insurance benefits so that there are no surprises when you receive a billing statement. Please note, most hospital admissions require prior-authorization. Because this is ultimately your responsibility, we ask that you please contact your insurance prior to your delivery to inform them of the future admission. For your convenience, we accept both Visa and MasterCard, as well as offer payment plans. If you have any questions about your benefits, please call us at (703) 273-9440, extension 109. For billing inquiries, please call Capture Billing and Consulting at 703-327-1800. Thank you!
