“Can I see your General Price List?”

“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.

“The ladies in the office are great. I can't sing their praises enough. The gentleman guiding us through funeral preparations though either couldn't hear us or something because he got many of the facts incorrect. He made us feel rushed through the process. The death certificates for my dad came in with the wrong county, so they had to get corrected ones. The ladies in the office were able to get that done same day.... Amazing job.”
— JT Gulick
