Patient registration
- To every appointment, bring your insurance card(s) – including Medicare/Medicaid, prescriptions – and a photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state-issued ID or student ID. Without an insurance card, you may have to pay for your visit that day.
- Insurance co-payments and all out-of-pocket expenses are due on the day of your visit. A billing fee of $20 will be charged when co-payment or out-of-pocket expenses are not paid the day of your visit.
Insurance coverage
- Group Health accepts most major insurance plans.
- Contact your insurance company to see if Group Health participates in your plan.
- If you have completed all insurance paperwork, we will bill your primary and secondary insurance companies. If your insurance does not pay your claim, you will be billed for the balance.
- Group Health will assist you in the appeals process if your insurance company denies payment. Any questions regarding coverage or benefits should be discussed directly with your insurance company.
Balances after insurance
- Group Health will send a bill for services not covered by your insurance and for any out-of-pocket expenses or deductibles. These balances are due in full within 30 days.
Appointment cancellations
- It is important to remember to cancel any scheduled appointment at least 24 hours in advance or you may be charged $50 for the missed appointment. To cancel an appointment, call 513.246.7000.
Radiology & Pathology
You may receive separate bills for reading of x-rays or for some lab services performed in a Group Health facility. These charges are from providers that your doctor has asked to review your results – such as a pathologist or radiologist.
Claims coding
- We cannot change codes so your insurance will cover the visit. Procedure and diagnosis codes are numbers assigned to services provided by medical professionals. We take great care to ensure accurate, ethical coding based upon your diagnosis and the procedures provided.
- It is important that you understand your insurance coverage. You are encouraged to contact your insurance company to find out what services are considered cosmetic and/or are not covered.
Auto accidents
- Medical expenses resulting from a motor vehicle accident are your personal responsibility.
- Group Health can provide claim forms upon request. Please call our billing department at 513.246.7800.
Paying your bill
- Group Health accepts cash, checks, American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa.
- You may also use a credit card to pay your statement by completing the credit card section of the statement or by calling 513.569.6117. You also may pay online with a credit card.

Insurance plans accepted
Most major insurance plans are accepted. Please check with your insurance provider to confirm your plan’s coverage.
Obstetrics Billing
Insurance coverage for obstetrics
Group Health accepts most major insurance plans. Please contact your insurance carrier to see if Group Health participates in your plan.
We will verify your insurance coverage and benefits to obtain your out of pocket/deductible cost related to your obstetrical care. You will be responsible for all co-payments, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expense not covered by your insurance.
For your convenience, we offer a payment plan of six equal installments. All outstanding balances must be paid in full prior to delivery.
Out-of-Pocket Limit – A predetermined amount of money that an individual must pay before insurance will pay 100 percent for an individual's health care expenses.
Deductible – Amount of loss that the insured pays before the insurance kicks in.
Coinsurance – For health insurance, it is a percentage of each claim above the deductible paid by the policyholder. For a 20-percent health insurance coinsurance clause, the policyholder pays for the deductible plus 20 percent of the covered losses. After paying 80 percent of losses up to a specified amount, the insurer starts paying 100 percent.
OB billing/coding
Your OB care will be billed globally. These services include antepartum (before birth) care, delivery, and postpartum (after birth) care. The services are listed below. Any other services in within this time period will be billed separately.
If you should have a change in insurance, transfer care to another practice, or our physician does not perform your delivery, your charges will be billed outside the global billing services. This is an estimate for the doctors' fee only. This does not include the hospital or the anesthesiologist fees.
