The billing question site pertains to the Primary Care Physician practices only.
Who do I contact regarding my bill?
Our central billing office (CBO) handles all of our patient's billing needs, from the electronic filing of insurance claims and patient statements to assisting our patient's with questions regarding their bill.
The CBO can be contacted at (727) 532-0002 or 1-877-532-0002, where one of our Customer Service Representatives will be happy to assist with any billing questions.
What insurance plans does my doctor accept?
MPMPC Primary Care Physicians participate with Medicare and most Commercial insurance plans. To find out if your physician participates with an insurance plan please call the 4DOC phone line at (727) 535-4DOC or (727) 535-4362.
Why does it take so long to receive a bill from my doctor?
The Central Billing Office tries to make sure no patient is billed until all insurances pay their obligations. While we do not like to wait to bill a patient, we also do not want to bill a patient in error.
Which hospitals do MPMPC Primary Care physicians admit their patients to?
Should the need arise for you or a family member to be hospitalized; the MPMPC Primary Care Physicians have privileges at the following hospitals:
Morton Plant Hospital, Clearwater, FL
Mease Dunedin Hospital, Dunedin, FL
Mease Countryside Hospital, Safety Harbor, FL
Morton Plant North Bay, New Port Richey, FL
Please check your provider’s information page for the hospitals he/she is affiliated with.
My physician does not go to the hospital, who will take care of me if I have to go to the hospital?
Your MPMPC Primary Care physician may arrange for your hospital care to be managed by a team of dedicated "Hospitalist” physicians. These “Hospitalists” spend 24 hours each day in the active management of MPMPC patients in the hospital. Should you be hospitalized for any reason, these hospitalist physicians will manage your care while you remain an in-patient.
The Hospitalist is able to insure that you receive both timely and expert treatment throughout all phases of your hospital stay, keeping your MPMPC primary care physician constantly updated on your progress.
