Just as you have a choice in doctors, you doctor has a choice in which lab he entrusts with your blood, bone marrow, or tissue sample.
Laboratory testing and diagnosis should not only involve a number of different testing methods like flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular studies, but also a special expertise in interpreting those results.
Many blood disorders have their origin in the manufacturing process of different blood cell types; usually too many or too few cells are produced, or cells don’t mature or die as they should.
Hematopathologists are trained to specifically recognize and identify blood and bone marrow disorder.
Your doctor knows that siParadigm has a staff of world-class hematopathologists, scientists, and technologists behind every result, and that they treat each patient and diagnosis with the level of care and respect they deserve.
Everything about your situation is unique. You know this, your doctor knows this, and so does siParadigm.
Waiting for results can seem like an eternity, understanding those results can be overwhelming, and figuring out what your insurance may or may not pay, can be confusing and upsetting.
siParadigm lessens all these worries at every opportunity.
You should receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurance company for siParadigm’s services. THIS IS NOT A BILL.
However, you may need to pay for some expenses related to your insurance coverage “out of pocket” (for example, deductibles or co-pays), but again, siParadigm will do everything possible to minimize expense to you. siParadigm has a Financial Assistance Policy which may help with those costs. Uninsured patients may also qualify for free or reduced cost testing if eligibility criteria is met.
If you have any questions about an EOB or what may have been billed to your insurance or you, please contact our Billing Team toll free at 888-599-5227 or fap.billing@siparadigm .
