Our clients may choose to be billed directly or have their patients charged directly for our services. If patient billing is elected, please be sure to notify your patients that they will be invoiced by us. In addition, we accept third-party payments from most agencies.  In general, we can bill the third party directly for the primary charges and bill the patient for additional charges not covered by his or her program.  We encourage patients to send BCL the  insurance forms authorizing direct payment, which we submit for reimbursement.  Please note that certain HMO's require prior approval of laboratory procedures. 

Please call (781) 893-1557 to arrange for billing.

Required Billing Information:

Third-Party Billing Information

BCL can bill and will accept payment from many agencies and insurance companies.  Provide all the information to avoid follow-up correspondence from the Billing Department.

Ask your patients to show you their identification cards to ensure proper ID number, eligibility dates, correct spelling of names, etc.  This information must appear clearly on the requisition form.  A copy of their card (front and back) attached to the requisition is preferred.  Patients will be responsible for such charges as non-covered services, co-insurance charge, and deductible amounts depending on the type of coverage they have.  It is the patient's responsibility to collect from their own insurance company, if the laboratory does not accept assignment.  If you have any billing questions or concerns, contact the Billing Department for assistance.
