Financial Responsibility Policy:
Scioto Urgent Care is committed to providing you with the best possible care. If you have insurance, we are anxious to help you receive your maximum allowable benefits. In order to achieve these goals, we need your assistance and your understanding of our policies and practices.
If you have insurance, a current insurance card and any copay is due at the time of service. We will be happy to process any insurance claims for you and we accept insurance assignment with our in-network providers. At this time our in-network providers are as follows: Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC), Medical Mutual of Ohio, Medicare, OSU Prime Care, and United Health Care. For out-of-network insurance, we require a $50 deposit. Your ultimate responsibility is based on your insurance provider’s out-of-network urgent care benefits. We do not accept any form of Medicaid.
Ultimately, your insurance is a contract between you and your carrier. We are not a party to that contract. Any service that is not covered by your insurance company, for whatever reason, is your responsibility.
