My AHN patient needs lab work

The patient had an in-office procedure what do I charge them?
To ensure the success of AHN, our members need to be well informed about how much they need to pay. When scheduling appointments for AHN members, please tell them what you expect the charges to be.
- Minor office procedures – AHN asks that any minor procedure be included in the office visit fee.
- Major office procedures – if a provider wishes to perform a major procedure on an AHN member, please schedule the procedure for a subsequent office visit if the member is not prepared to pay at that time.
- When scheduling the appointment, be sure to inform the member of the exact cost of the procedure. For your convenience, the appropriate percentage of Medicare allowable is printed on each AHN member ID card.
- Medicare allowable rates can be found at www.cms.hhs.gov/pfslookup
