General insurance information
The Carolina Asthma and Allergy Center endeavors to reach agreements to
provide care on behalf of all managed care organizations which, in our
opinion, allow our doctors to provide what we believe to be an acceptable
level of care at a reasonable reimbursement level. We will act as a
patient advocate and work with our patients and provide information and
assistance required to obtain authorization for our continued services.
Patients must be aware that final responsibility for keeping track of
authorizations and expiration dates are their responsibility and that they
are financially responsible for services received without an
authorization.
While CAAC will make no positive or negative statements to patients in
recommending purchase of coverage under specific companies and plans, the
North Carolina Department of Insurance has published 2 brochures and 2
handbooks to help North Carolinians make informed decisions regarding
health insurance. They are:
|

Guide to Health Insurance, The Consumers Right to Know |

Guide to Appeals and Grievances, Your Rights as a Health Insurance Consumer |

1999 HMO Performance Report, A Comparison of Health Maintenance Organizations in NC |
