Connecticut Pediatric Partnership Financial Policy 2026
Please take time to understand the benefits and coverage provided by your insurance plan. Insurance coverage varies by plan, and you are responsible for any amounts your insurance company determines are your responsibility.
Co-Pays, Balances & Credit Card on File
Co-pays are due at the time of service, as required by our insurance contracts. This includes siblings added to the schedule during another visit. If a visit becomes a sick visit after arrival, your insurance may apply a co-pay. We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards. All families are required to keep a credit card on file.
After your insurance processes a claim and an EOB is received, patient-responsibility amounts of $200 or less for non-covered services or amounts applied to your deductible may be charged to the card on file.
Credit card information is maintained in accordance with applicable security standards.
The parent or guardian accompanying the child is responsible for payment due at the time of service.
Insurance
Please provide your current insurance card at every visit. If you have an HMO, you are responsible for selecting our practice or one of our physicians as your primary care provider. If the physician listed on your card is not one of our physicians, your visit may not be covered.
We will submit claims to your insurance company as a courtesy. You are responsible for providing accurate insurance information and for any balance assigned by your insurance company. If you do not have active insurance coverage, payment is due in full; a self-pay discount may be available.
Returned Checks
A $20 fee will be charged for checks returned by your bank. After two returned checks, future payments must be made by cash or credit card.
Well Visits & Non-Covered Services
We recommend an annual well visit for every child. We provide age-appropriate preventive services consistent with current pediatric standards and American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.
Coverage varies by insurance plan, and you are responsible for confirming your benefits.Services not covered by insurance, or services applied to your deductible or other patient responsibility,are your responsibility. A self-pay discount may be available for certain non-covered services. Please refer to our website for our Schedule of Well-Child Visits.
After-Hours Services
Many insurance plans recognize after-hours services; however, coverage varies. We charge an additional fee for eligible after-hours services. If your insurance does not cover the service or assigns it to your deductible or other patient responsibility, you are responsible for the fee.
Cancellations & Missed Appointments
We request at least 24 hours' notice, excluding weekends and holidays, for cancellations or rescheduling.
Missed appointments without prior notice will be charged:
● Physical/well visit: $50
● Sick, vaccine, or medication visit: $25
These fees are not billable to insurance.
Divorced, Separated, or Unmarried Parents
We maintain one medical and financial account per patient and cannot divide charges between parents or become involved in financial disputes. The parent or guardian accompanying the child or authorizing services is responsible for providing current insurance information and payment of charges incurred, unless prior written arrangements have been approved by the practice.
Both parents generally have access to their child's medical information unless legal documentation states otherwise. Separate portal accounts may be established for each parent or legal guardian.
Collections
If an unpaid balance is referred to a collection agency, you may be responsible for collection-related costs to the extent permitted by law. Please contact our billing office if you need to discuss a payment arrangement before an account is referred to collections.
Annual Administrative Fee
Our annual administrative fee covers services and administrative support that are not billable to insurance. Please visit our website for the current fee and additional information.
You have the right to waive any service you do not wish your child to receive. Please just inform the front desk or nurse at your visit prior to any testing being performed.
