Frequently Asked Questions

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield why do I need to go the Leesburg office for in network benefits?
Blue Cross Blue Shield Association requires healthcare providers to submit to their local plan, determined by service location. The service area set by the Association is determined by services provided either East of Route 123 or services provided West of Route 123. Currently, The Pediatric Lung Center providers do not contract with Carefirst (the local plan for service locations East of Route 123) and services provided at the Prosperity location would be processed at the members out of network level of benefits. The Pediatric Lung Center providers are contracted with Anthem of Virginia (the local plan for service locations West of Route 123) and services provided at the Leesburg location would be processed at the members in network level of benefits.

Do you need to know all of the insurance policies my child will have for coverage?
Yes, in order to ensure accuracy of insurance reimbursement any insurance that your child is enrolled on the date of service requires notification. When you have multiple plans, there are plan benefit rules which determine primary and secondary carriers.

What is coordination of benefits?
Coordination of benefits (COB) is required when you have multiple insurance plans. Coordination of benefits is the determination of which insurance pays: primary, secondary, or tertiary.
