Elysium MedSpa has partnered with Care Credit to offer you convenient payment plans for your cosmetic procedures. With their simple online application processes and instant decisions, anyone can schedule his or her procedure that day and pay for it over time with little to no interest.
With CareCredit, you can pay for treatments and procedures for you and your family right away and then make convenient monthly payments.
CareCredit extends special financing offers that you can’t get when using your Visa or MasterCard to pay for health, beauty and wellness care at enrolled providers. With shorter term financing options of 6, 12, 18 or 24 months no interest is charged on purchases of $200 or more when you make the minimum monthly payments and pay the full amount due by the end of the promotional period. If you do not, interest is charged from the original purchase date
CareCredit also extends longer-term healthcare financing for 24, 36, 48 or 60-month periods with a Reduced APR and Fixed Monthly Payments Required until paid in Full.
After your appointment, we will submit a bill (also called a claim) to your insurance company, if you have insurance. This bill will list the services we provided to you. Your insurance will use the information in the bill to pay us for those services.
When the insurance company pays us, they may send you a report called an Explanation of Benefits, or EOB. The EOB shows what your insurance company did and did not pay for and why. An EOB is not a bill
Your Statement from Us
If you have insurance, you may receive a statement that shows how much we billed your insurance company. You do not need to pay the amounts listed at that time
You will need to pay any balance due after your insurance company pays us.
We Accept Most Major Insurance Providers:
Just because your health insurance provider isn’t listed doesn’t mean we don’t accept it. To be sure of your coverage and benefits please call your member services line (provided by your insurance provider) and provide them with our NPI Number: 1457338519
Why did my insurance pay only a part of my bill?
Most insurance plans require that you pay a co-payment, coinsurance or deductible for your health care expenses. Contact your health insurance company for specific information about your coverage.
What is a deductible?
Deductibles are the yearly expenses you pay before your health insurance pays anything. For example, each year you pay the first $1,000 of your health care bills before your health insurance pays anything.
What is coinsurance?
Coinsurance is a percentage of the health care bill that you pay after you have reached your annual deductible. For example, you pay 20% and your insurance company pays 80%.
What is a co-payment?
Copayments are set amounts you pay when you go to a health care provider. Providers usually collect copayments at the visit. Copayment amounts usually are listed on your health insurance card.
Why did I receive a bill if I have insurance coverage?
You will receive a patient responsibility statement after your insurance processes our bill. The amount you are billed for is based on what your insurance communicates to us on an explanation of benefits (EOB). The EOB details how your insurance processed our bill and calculated your responsibility based on your individual insurance plan. If you believe your responsibility is not correct, please contact your insurance directly.
My insurance should have paid my bill, what should I do?
Please verify that your insurance has received and processed the claim. If the claim has not been processed, then carefully review your insurance policy or contact your insurance to determine if the services and procedures are covered. Your insurance will have the most accurate and up-to-date information about your policy and your claim. If your insurance company has questions, please direct them to contact Elysium Medical Group at one of our locations to verify that the most up to date insurance information is on file.
Why am I getting a bill now, when services were provided so long ago?
Elysium Medical Group will process and send a bill to a patient after payment and EOB are received from the insurance and it is confirmed that the balance is owed by the patient. The length of this process depends on how long it takes to receive a response from your insurance carrier.
Why is my account in collection?
Delinquent in payment will result in collection activity. Once we have received EOB from your insurance, we will send out billing statement for your account balance. Failure to send in payment within 90 days from the first statement sent, your account will be turned into our contracted collection agency. When the account is in the collection agency, it is no longer with Elysium Medical Group. You will not be able to visit our providers once your account is in collection. You will have to contact the collection agency directly to resolve bad debt in order to visit our providers again.
Why did I receive a bill for a preventive exam?
Each insurance company has a list of preventive services they will cover for your preventive exam. If any non-preventive services or medical conditions were addressed during your exam that required more evaluation, you may be billed for that service. Insurance requires accurate, detailed reporting from providers when preventive care and additional problems are addressed in the same visit. Please contact your insurance to find out the covered preventive services for your preventive exam

The HCG diet uses the power of human chronic gonadotropin along with a low-calorie diet to change your metabolism. Based on the research of Dr. Simeon’s, the HCG diet has been studied extensively over the last 60 years and is safe as long as it is medically supervised. When used combined with a low-calorie diet, HCG injections appear to influence the metabolism, increasing energy expenditures during dieting. This can lead to weight loss in traditional stubborn areas, including the belly, thighs, and chest. Most people can expect to lose around 20 pounds in 40 days.
