With them, we follow insurance contract guidelines for billing and collections. Please verify that Dr .Cleeremans is a preferred provider with your insurance plan prior to receiving services.
Covered California: We are not providers for Covered California. This plan as well as MediCal have very low reimbursement and are designed for high volume practices with limited time with the physician. Our practice model does not allow us to see patients with these plans and remain economically viable.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW THE DETAILS OF YOUR HEALTH PLAN
If you are in doubt as to whether a provider, medication, procedure, lab test, diagnostic study, or imaging
service is covered, or you are unsure of the facility at which it must be performed, please call your plans
member services department to verify. Our office is not responsible for any out-of-pocket costs incurred due to the use of out-of-network providers or facilities. We are also not responsible for unauthorized imaging, labs, tests, or other procedures not preauthorized by your insurance. We attempt to refer you to providers, labs, and facilities that are contracted with your health plan; However, we are listed as a provider on over 100 health plans, and it is not possible for our office to track the details of
each individual plan since each policy is written to provide coverage adapted to the needs of the subscriber. Additionally, insurance companies are constantly updating their coverage criteria and network limits internally without sending notification to providers.
