Medical Insurance

Watson Clinic accepts Medicare assignment of benefits for standard Medicare & supplemental Medicare. In addition, the clinic is contracted with most medical insurance plans including many managed HMO’s and PPO’s. Contact your insurance carrier to verify our participation with your plan or click here to see the list of contracted and accepted insurance plans for 2010. Watson Clinic files most insurance claims on behalf of the patient for both primary and secondary insurance. If your plan requires a co-pay, we will collect it at the time of service. We accept cash, personal checks, and credit cards.
  • If you have insurance with a plan that is contracted with Watson Clinic, you will be responsible for all applicable co-pays, co-insurance annual deductibles and any non-covered services. Please understand that we cannot waive any patient balances. All co-pays are due at the time of service.
  • In the event you have an insurance plan that Watson Clinic does not contract with, you will be responsible for payment of all charges not paid by your plan. Most insurance plans refer to this as going “out-of-network.”
  • In the event you do not have any medical insurance coverage, you will be expected to make payment on the day of service. Our financial counselors are available to assist you in making alternative payment arrangements, if necessary.
