Insurance and Billing

IMPORTANT: The online payment portal requires a minimum transaction of $10.00. If your bill is less than this, please call the phone number on your statement.

GIDC accepts most forms of insurance (see detailed list below). We are designated providers for Medicare, Blue Cross/Shield and many others. If you have a special insurance claim form, bring it to the office. We will submit the claims to your insurance company first and bill you only if additional payment is necessary. You are responsible for any balance not covered by your insurance.

Our in-network insurance plans include:

• Aetna
• Amerigroup
• Americhoice
• Baltimore County Cancer Prevention Program
• Bravo Health
• CareFirst BCBS
• CareFirst BCBS – Blue Choice
• Cigna
• Coventry
• First Health
• Great West
• Johns Hopkins Health Care – Employer Health Program
• Johns Hopkins Health Care – Priority Partners
• Kaiser Permanente
• Medicare
• National Capital PPO (NCPPO)
• United Healthcare
• United Healthcare – MDIPA/MAMSI/Optimum Choice/OneNet PPO

We accept cash, check and most major credit cards. We also offer the option to pay bills online.

If you are unable to pay, please alert your physician ahead of time so that a payment plan may be discussed. If you have questions regarding your bill, please call us at (410) 242-4095.

Please note you may be receiving a bill from both your physician for his services (professional fee) as well as GIDC for the procedure itself (facility fee).

The Cost of Your Procedure

Because you are responsible for costs for covered healthcare services until you reach your deductible, you should comparison shop if you elect to have a nonemergency procedure.

You can use tools like Healthcare Bluebook and the Medicare Procedure Price Lookup (for Medicare patients).  Many health insurance websites also provide information on where to find in-network services.
