Thank you for allowing the Northeast Louisiana Physican Hospital Organization to assist you with your healthcare needs. The purpose of our organization is to provide quality care at affordable costs.

There are some helpful hints we suggest you follow in obtaining care. They include:

• Always take your current medical card when you access service. This will help your provider get your claims paid timely.
• Check your plan directory. Some physicians may participate in one plan and not another. If in doubt call us to ensure your provider participates in your plan.
• Advise your provider of personal changes, such as employer, address, etc.
• Know what your co-pay is (the amount you pay at each visit).
• Know what your deductibles are (amount you pay before the plan reimburses).
• Know what type of routine and preventive services you have like wellness exams or vaccinations.
• Provide a list of all medications your are currently taking, including supplements.
• Know what services require pre-certification. Remember, you are ultimately responsible.
