Billing

At this time, we do not have a secure email address, so you can send us information via our email address, but it is at your own risk. We would need your card number, expiration date, billing name and billing address, as well as the account number on your bill and the amount you wish to pay. Please email this information to billing@westcountyradiology.com. We would prefer that you call us at the numbers below or send us back the statement with this information. We had considered doing online bill pay; however, the credit card company fees do not make this feasible at this time.

West County Radiology is an approved provider for most insurance carriers and health plans. Please click on the link to the left to see if we are a network provider for your health insurance.

Most insurance plans currently require a preapproval and/or notification prior to performing radiological procedures. Please check with your insurance plan and/or the referring physician's office to see if this is necessary. If you do not obtain a preapproval or notification, you may be charged for the entire cost of the study.

If you do not have health insurance, please contact our billing office at 314-991-8200 or toll free at 1-800-449-6145, and we make payment arrangements. We do accept both Mastercard and Visa. We are currently in the process of setting up an online payment system and hope to have that working before the end of 2007.

Once your insurance makes a payment and/or adjustment for the services performed, we will transfer the account to patient responsibility and begin mailing out statements. The first statement will come shortly after we have received the remittance advice from the insurance company or shortly after the services are performed if you are paying for the services yourself. You will receive a second statement in approximately 30 days. If we need additional information to process your account, such as secondary insurance information, please contact us as soon as possible to avoid going into a collections status.
