When to Expect a Bill
We work closely with your insurance company to make sure you are taken care of. Since every insurance company is different, expect it to take 75-90 days after you receive a new device and supplies to receive your first bill. If you purchased any accessories, and have asked to be billed directly, there will be a separate statement for these items.
If your insurance company needs more information, this may take longer. Your final out-of-pocket will depend on the balance from your insurance company after we have worked with them on your behalf.
