Insurance Information

Gerald Jerkins, M.D., Pediatric Urology Associates of the Mid South, P.C. has enrolled in numerous managed care insurance programs to accommodate the needs of our patients.

With each insurance program, there are many individual requirements of the plans having different stipulations regarding what services are covered and how often they may be performed. These plans differ depending on what type of contract your employer has negotiated.

Because we do not have access to each employers guidelines and stipulations, we must rely on you, the patient, to inform us EACH time of service exactly what those guidelines and stipulations are. The patient, parent or guardian is responsible for getting the current information about your insurance coverage. It is your responsibility to make sure we are in network, if not you must obtain out of network approval.

Unfortunately, if you do not inform us of special requirements in your insurance contract such as lab work, screening/preventative care, hospitalization, and/or out-patient procedures that are non-covered or must go to a specific location, or the need for a referral from you primary care physician, we have no choice but to bill you directly for those charges. Payment for those charges is then your responsibility.

Please check with your insurance if you have any questions relating to the services we provide. We want you to receive all of the benefits offered to you.
