Do I have to fast prior to my lab visit?

Preventative Screenings

What is breast cancer?

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women, after skin cancer. It is a disease in which cells in the breast grow out of control.

How can I prevent breast cancer?

Mammogram

A mammogram involves an x-ray picture of the breast to screen for early signs of breast cancer. The United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that most women who are at average risk and are 50 to 74 years old have a mammogram every 2 years. The recommendations state that women with a parent, sibling, or child with breast cancer are at a higher risk for breast cancer and should have a conversation with their provider about the risks and benefits of beginning breast cancer screening in their 40s.

I’d like to learn more about having this screening test done. What can I do?

For established LWHC patients who have seen one of our primary care providers, please send a message through the portal or call (425) 216-0550 to leave a message for your care team if you are interested in completing your breast cancer screening. Your care team will then coordinate having this test done.

For those who have yet to see a provider from our primary care team, please schedule an appointment through the portal or by calling our office. Consider scheduling an Annual Exam as this visit will help keep you up to date with your healthcare needs, including a review of necessary preventative screenings, active concerns, and change in personal or family history.

What is cervical cancer?

This type of cancer starts in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Each year, approximately 12,000 women in the United States get cervical cancer (CDC, 2019).

Can you transfer my medical records to a different location?

How long does it take to receive/send my records?

Depending on the volume of Medical records request and how quickly we can obtain a completed Crossover Release of information form (ROI form), it may require from 3 days - 2 weeks to get sent out.

What is the process to request my records?

1) We will need to receive a completed Crossover Release of Information form (ROI form)

      a) Upload to your patient Portal

You can pick up your records in person at building 21 on the Microsoft campus.

OR

We can fax them directly to another office. We will need to know the name of the clinic you would like your records sent to and the fax number to send the records to.

Billing

What is a deductible?

The amount you pay for covered health care services in a plan year before your health plan starts to contribute to your cost of care. With a $2,000 deductible, for example, you pay the first $2,000 of covered services.

What is the difference between co-insurance and a copay?

A co-insurance is the percentage of healthcare costs you’re responsible for. After you meet the deductible, you and your Microsoft Health Plan will share the cost of care until you’ve reached the out-of-pocket maximum. For example, if you have 20 percent coinsurance, your health plan would pay 80 percent of the bill and you would be responsible for the remaining 20 percent until your out-of-pocket maximum is reached.

A copay is similar to coinsurance, but it’s a fixed amount paid at the time of service rather than a percentage of the cost. If you have a $50 copay, you’d pay $50 at your visit.

How much does it cost to be seen at the Living Well Health Center?

Please reference the simplified Pricing guide here.

If you still have questions regarding cost of a service, please call (425) 216-0550 to speak with one of our Hosts.

How do I pay my bill?

If you have received a statement from Crossover, you can pay with Credit, Debit or HSA card over the phone, in-person or online
