Ochsner Health is a system that delivers health to the people of Louisiana, Mississippi and the Gulf South with a mission to Serve, Heal, Lead, Educate and Innovate.
Ochsner will file primary insurance claims in all cases for patients with insurance, meaning:
Coverage by secondary payors is generally based on what is owed after the primary insurance company has paid.
If Ochsner has a contract with the primary insurance company, Ochsner agrees to accept the contracted fee schedule. Under this agreement, your out-of-pocket costs normally will be less. You will be responsible for any copayments, coinsurance and deductible amounts as determined by your insurance company. The insurance company pays its portion of the total amount to Ochsner.
Insurance payments sent directly to you, whether from primary or secondary insurance companies, should be used to pay outstanding charges to Ochsner. Patients are financially responsible for all outstanding charges.
Over 700 clinical trials
being conducted at Ochsner.
