Insurance/managed-care plans, Medicare, and Medicaid reimburse for PET and PET/CT on a case-by-case basis, depending on the diagnosis. The Columbia Kreitchman PET Center staff can work with you to verify benefits and pre-authorization, if necessary. The staff will also submit claims as needed. On the day of your PET or PET/CT scan, you are responsible for the payment of any costs not expected to be paid by your insurance company, such as deductibles and co-payments, unless prior arrangements have been made.
