Are cosmetic procedures covered by insurance?
Lyra Laser services, used for permanent hair removal and treatment of wrinkles, spots, and spider veins, are not generally covered by insurance. Payment for these services is expected at the time of service.

Is infertility evaluation covered by insurance?
Many insurance providers do not cover infertility services; therefore, it is important to verify your benefits prior to arriving for your appointment. If you have additional questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us for additional information.

I don’t have insurance and I just learned that I am pregnant. What should I do?
You may be eligible for services through Potomac Hospital OB Clinic. We provide prenatal care and delivery to their patients. Please contact the OB Clinic at 703-670-1231.

What if Medicare will only pay for a Pap smear every three years?
If Medicare will only pay for a Pap smear every three years, we encourage you to schedule annual appointments anyway. A typical annual exam consists of much more than a Pap smear. When you come in for your annual exam, we will do a pelvic exam, breast exam, and screening for various types of cancer. If you’re over age 40, we will also perform a screening for colon cancer. Depending on age, we may also evaluate the need for mammography and bone density studies. Options for contraception, hormone therapy, and any other questions or concerns you may have are discussed.

If you have additional questions...
Email us with your billing questions and our billing office will research your request. You can anticipate a response with three business days. Be sure to include your name, account number or date of birth, and a phone number where you can be reached between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
