Billing Processes & Information

We offer three convenient payment options for testing: institutional billing, insurance billing, and self-pay. Click on each option below to learn more.

Please contact the Greenwood Genetic Center’s insurance/patient accounts department at 1-800-273-8840 for questions related to insurance and billing.

The Greenwood Genetic Center does not accept out-of-state insurance.

For South Carolina residents who have outpatient services at the Greenwood Genetic Center, we can file directly with the patient’s insurance. Please refer to the insurance contract list above to determine which insurance companies are in network with GGC and which require pre-authorization.

For laboratory testing samples, please include the following information with the test requisition form:  a copy of the insurance card (front and back), the insured’s date of birth and relationship to the patient, and any required pre-authorizations. For molecular or cytogenetic testing for patients with Medicare, a signed Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) from the patient’s guarantor must also be included with the sample.

Institutional billing is available for referring clinics, hospitals, laboratories, and physician offices, both within and outside of South Carolina.

For international and out-of-state organizations, institutional billing is required unless the patient is uninsured opts to self-pay. To set up an account, simply complete the Institutional Account Request Form above. The Greenwood Genetic Center offers convenient monthly invoicing along with flexible payment options to meet your needs.

For patients without insurance who choose to self-pay, a 40% discount is offered when payment is received on or before the date that the sample arrives at the lab. Accepted payment methods include check, money order, or credit card (Visa, and MasterCard). Financial assistance or payment plans may be available for some self-pay patients.
