ESOGUARD AND INSURANCE
Lucid Diagnostics accepts all insurance plans and directly bills your medical insurance carrier for the EsoGuard test. Their team is focused on gaining EsoGuard coverage.
What to expect
01 Lucid Diagnostics Notification
Lucid Diagnostics will send you a notification that a claim has been submitted to your insurance provider with a consent form **optional to complete** that allows Lucid Dignostics to appeal on your behalf if your insurance provider denies the claim. 
02 Claim Submission
Lucid Diagnostics will submit a claim for the EsoGuard DNA test to your insurance provider directly. 
03 Explanation of Benefits
Once your claim has been processed, your insurance provider will send you an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) which explains whether the provider has approved or denied the claim. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A BILL.
04 Patient Portion
If your insurance provider denies the claim, Lucid Diagnostics will work on your behalf and appeal the denial. If the claim is denied after appeals, Lucid Diagnostics considers it adjudicated, and NO further patient follow-up occurs. 

If your claim is approved by your insurance provider, there MAY be patient out-of-pocket responsibility due to co-insurance or deductible requirements set by your insurance provider. Lucid Diagnostics will bill you for the patient responsibility portion, as is required by law. 

•    CURRENTLY, they do NOT refer unpaid claims to a collection agency. They offer various financial assistance programs for patients. If you receive a bill, please contact their team at 1-888-LucidDx for further assistance before paying anything.
