Insurance and Billing for Perfusion Therapy

Please call your insurance carrier before you are admitted to the hospital. Most insurance carriers now require patients to get approval before a hospital admission.

If you do not get approval from your insurance carrier before you are admitted, the insurance company may not cover the services.

If your illness requires you to miss work or become temporarily disabled, our office will assist you with completing your disability forms.

Mail your completed portion of the claim forms to:

5150 Centre Ave., Suite 415
Pittsburgh, PA 15232

Please enclose a stamped envelope addressed to the company or individual who is to receive the completed forms.

Our staff will attend to this as soon as possible. We recognize how important this is to you and your family.
