Understand insurance and billing

Review accepted insurance plans

We work with most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid.

Review our list of accepted insurance(s) to see the most common payers that are in network with Bluestone.

To ensure accurate records, patients and families are responsible for sharing insurance information during enrollment (communities are not required to share).

If you’re covered by an HMO, PPO or other managed-care plan, we’ll verify your benefits and confirm coverage before care begins. If you have an HMO plan, remember to update your insurance company with the name of your new Bluestone provider. 

If your plan isn’t listed, you have questions, or you’ve recently changed insurance and need to provide a copy of your new insurance card, we’re here to help. Call us at 612-424-0273 or email Insurance@bluestonemd.com  Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. CT.

Find resources for private pay or uninsured

We do not accept patients who are uninsured or choose to privately pay for services.

Visit Medicare’s Find Health & Drug Plans or your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) for free, unbiased support through your county, Medicare or Medicaid, or the Health Insurance Marketplace.

Confirm your coverage

Here are some questions to consider asking your insurance provider:

  • Is Bluestone in-network on the health plan I am considering? 
  • Are my prescriptions covered by this plan?
  • Is my pharmacy in this plan’s network?
  • Am I able to get the care I want for a cost I can afford?
  • Does this plan include the benefits that are most important to me?
  • Is preapproval needed for hospital admissions, diagnostic tests, or imaging scans? If so, what’s the process?
  • What rules or guidelines are there for getting a second opinion?
  • What is the process for filing claims?
  • What if any, deductibles must be met before the insurance begins paying claims, including those for prescriptions and lab work?
  • Does my insurance policy have limits on what they will pay for Behavioral Health or Psychiatric services for example?
  • Does my policy cover new treatments or participation in clinical trials? If so, are there any limitations?
Know what to expect with billing

We bill your insurance after your visit. To avoid delays, please provide a copy of your insurance card and accurate personal information.

Once your claim is processed, your insurance will determine what they cover and what you owe.

You’ll receive a bill for any remaining balance, which may arrive later due to insurance processing timelines.

Understand your financial responsibility

You’re responsible for knowing your coverage and paying any copays, deductibles or non-covered charges. You may receive separate bills for labs or imaging. Our Patient Financial Agreement allows us to bill your insurance and share required information. Please keep your insurance details up to date.

Payment for your visit is due in full when you receive your billing statement. This includes any copayments, coinsurance or unmet deductibles.
