Insurance and Billing
Triangle Endoscopy Center accepts most major insurance. We are the only endoscopy center in Durham County participating in the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC) global fee plan. As such, most BCBSNC patients will not incur deductible or coinsurance costs, resulting in considerable out-of-pocket savings compared with hospital-based endoscopy. The only out-of-pocket expense for most BCBSNC patients is the typical office co-pay ($30-$70, depending on the plan).
