Insurance, Billing, & Payment

At Lincoln Family Medicine Center, our fees are based upon the nature of the presenting problem, time involved with each patient, and the services rendered to the individual.
We believe that patients should bear the responsibility for their own healthcare costs to the extent of their financial ability. 

We also believe that no person in our care should go without needed services because they are unable to pay. Our business office staff is ready to help you. Ask one of them when you visit our office, or call us at 402-483-4571. Our goal is to make quality healthcare available to you.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Click here to learn more about obtaining an estimate.

Insurance

Filing of health insurance can be complicated. We are happy to file your claims through our office. Please bring your insurance card with you to each visit. We participate in Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Strada, and most major insurance companies. 

Each insurance policy is different and your insurance company may not cover all services. You may be responsible to pay for some services. Remember, your health coverage is a contract between you and your insurance company. It is not an agreement between the insurance company and the doctor. This means that you are responsible for any deductibles, copays, or services not covered by your plan.
