Yes, Stanford offers third party billing for these services. If a pre-authorization for the services is required by the patient’s insurance, the referring facility is responsible for obtaining that authorization. In the event that charges are denied due to lack of authorization or for any other reason, Stanford will client bill the facility any outstanding charges.

Stanford does accept limited healthcare insurance outside the state of California. That said, use of Stanford services by out of state patients often requires pre-authorization. We recommend confirming coverage directly with the patient’s insurance company. Charges will be billed to submitting facility if their insurance is out of network or SHC or SHC Ref Lab is not contracted.

Yes, Stanford can bill for cases that aren’t patient specific. Please email our new client services to discuss your specific interest and the representative can confirm that the specific work can be done: pathologymarketing@stanfordhealthcare.org

Please see our list of accepted insurances. As each insurance plan differs, and plans offered by the same insurer may have different levels of coverage, we suggest contacting the insurance company directly to confirm status. You may be asked for our group NPI or Tax ID.
