Absolutely! Since these are not paid directly to the practice, you can choose to use your insurance for pathology, labs, and outside prescriptions. Similarly to our policy with office visits, Magnolia Medical & Aesthetics will not serve as liaison between patients and insurance companies.
Medication Prior Authorizations: Magnolia Medical & Aesthetics dispenses some medications in the office. If you require a prescription that we do not offer, or you choose to utilize your private insurance, we will provide you with a written prescription or send one directly to your Pharmacy. Please note that if your insurance requires a prior authorization (PA) we will NOT fill out any Medication PA Forms. We will make every effort to send your prescription to a Pharmacy that will obtain a PA on your behalf, but if you request your prescription to be sent to a Pharmacy that does not obtain them for you, then you will most likely pay the full rate of your prescription to your Pharmacy. Please contact your insurance company for more information.
Pathology: We will not submit your insurance information for any specimen that is sent out for additional testing to Sagis Diagnostics. You may contact Sagis Diagnostics at 877-697-2447 to either submit your insurance information or accept their self-pay rate. In many cases, their self-pay rate for the testing will be 1/3 of the cost of what is billed to insurance. They will be able to provide you with their pricing, so please contact them directly.
Labs: We will not submit your insurance information for any specimen that is sent out for additional testing to Labcorp. You may contact CPL Labs at 210-978-0374 to either submit your insurance information or accept their self-pay rate. In many cases, their self-pay rate for the testing will be a lower cost than what is billed to insurance. They will be able to provide you with their pricing, so please contact them directly.
