You have had a previous ultrasound that suggests a concern with the baby’s growth or development.

Frequently Asked Questions

Financial Policies

We are here to help answer your questions about fees, co-payments, billing, insurance coverage, or payment plans. Please call us at (920) 749-4000 and ask for the billing department to discuss your needs.

Upon arrival for each visit:

Please bring your picture ID and insurance card(s) with you at the time of each visit.
We ask that co-pays be paid at the time of service. For your convenience, Fox Valley Perinatology accepts cash or checks, as well as all major credit and debit cards.

Important Insurance Information

If you are a student/dependent with coverage under a parent’s insurance plan, please be advised that even if the payment goes to the subscriber, you are responsible for the payment of all services provided. If you have any questions, please speak to our financial counselor and we will be glad to assist you.

If you have secondary insurance coverage or medical assistance, please provide this information at your first visit, or when the coverage becomes effective. If your insurance coverage changes or is terminated, please contact our office immediately to provide that information. Please feel free to ask us about our fees. We will be happy to discuss them with you. Our fees are within the usual and customary range for this area and reflect the level of care you will receive and the high level of training by Dr. Steele.

Billing and Charges

Accounts are due in full upon receipt of your statement. If you are unable to pay your account in full, our financial counselor will be happy to discuss payment options. Failure to remit timely payments could affect future services in our clinics.

Patients are billed monthly. If there is an error or question on your account, please contact the friendly people in our billing department at (920) 749-4000. Fox Valley Perinatology does offer monthly payment plans as a service to our patients and many times a phone call can help clear up any misunderstanding about your charges.

Please note that charges incurred in the hospital (including pulmonology, anesthesiology, pathology, etc.) are billed separately and not included in Fox Valley Perinatology fees.

Will my insurance cover my appointment?
Fox Valley Perinatology is in-network with many insurance carriers, but we recommend you call your insurance carrier to confirm your coverage and the in-network status prior to your first appointment.

Fox Valley Perinatology will submit claims to in-network insurance carriers; however, you are ultimately responsible for the payment of all services in a timely manner. If you do not have insurance coverage, payment is required at the time of check-in.

We have a full time billing staff on site. If you have questions and concerns about your bill, we can help you know what to ask your insurance carrier in order to get your bills processed.

We work with some third party administrators and self-funded plans. We are in-network providers for Health EOS and Health EOS/Multiplan. If your insurance carrier uses their services to process your claims and you have questions, please contact our business office.
