Some Important Instructions reguarding your Medical Bills
Because our fiscal year will be closing December 31,
1990, we will need all authorized medical and dental
bills in by December 15, 1990.
If you have been receiving medical or dental bills you
have to send those to Contract Health Services so they
can be paid. Some doctors do not bill CHS they only bill
the patient, (for example: labs and X-rays) so we do not
know there arc any outstanding charges unless we
receive a bill from you. It is very important to send in all
of your authorized medical or dental bills as soon as you
receive them so they arc not turned in to collections.
This also goes for your Explanation of Benefits (EOB)
from your private insurance and Medicare.
Here are the patients responsibility as written in your
CHS pamphlet:
1. You need to phone in appointments 3 to 7
days in advance for prc-aulhorizalions even if you have
insurance, medicare, medicaid etc...
2. Emergency visits have to be reported within
72 hours after the services, (emergency room services
will be reviewed by the CHN to determine the priority
level of the service.)
3. Inform doctors of private insurance, medi
care or welfare.
4. Mail CHS all pre-authorized bills, insurance
explanations of benefits.
5. All patients receiving elective surgery have to
have PRIOR APPROVAL from a doctor from the
Chemawa Service Unit. These services will be rendered
upon availability of funds. '
Remember all doctor bills and EOB'S must be sent in
to CHS so payment can be made. Any bills received
after December 1, 1990 will be denied for payment.
