ALL PAYMENT IS EXPECTED AT THE TIME OF SERVICE
Payment is required at the time services are rendered. Copayments are contractually set by the insurance companies based on the policy you and
your family have chosen, and we are contractually bound to collect them. The person bringing the patient to the clinic for their appointment is
responsible for paying the copayment and any outstanding balances on the account at the time of service unless previous arrangements have been
made. If you fail to pay your co-payment, you will be charged an administrative surcharge of $25.00 for processing the co-payment after your visit.
TYPES OF PAYMENT ACCEPTED
Edmond Pediatrcs accepts cash payments, Visa, Master Card, Discover, American Express and personal checks. However, for any returned checks, a $25.00
‘returned check fee’ will be applied.
INSURANCE
As a courtesy to our patients, Edmond Pediatrics will file all patient claims to the insurance company for reimbursement. The guarantor is
responsible for paying the copayment and any outstanding deductible/co-insurance charges at the time of service. Any charges not covered by
insurance will be billed to the guarantor and will be his/her responsibility to pay them. It is the policy holder’s responsibility to make sure that
claims are paid in a timely fashion. We are more than happy to work with you and your insurance company to resolve any issues if needed.
DIVORCED PARENTS
Edmond Pediatrics will not get involved in custodial, seperation, or financial disputes involving or relating to divorced parents for a minor child(ren) we provide services to. The parent who signs the initial financial policy and registration form for minor child(ren) will be the responsible party for payment on services rendered. Edmond Pediatrics does not mediate or participate in disagreements between parents. The legal/biological parent with authorization to obtain medical treatment at time of service is responsible for payment and medical decision making.
OUTSTANDING BALANCES
Edmond Pediatrics does require a Credit or Debit Card on File for Self-Pay patients or non Medicaid patients. We reserve the right to run the card on file for patient's responsibilty remaining 60 days after date of service. Please see Credit Card policy for more information.
Edmond Pediatrcs makes every effort to collect what is owed to us, including engaging the services of a professional collection agency for
unpaid patient balances. Therefore, if a balance goes unpaid for 120 days from the date of service, the account may be turned to a collection
agency. If the account is turned to a collection agency, the guarantor will be responsible for paying all collection and legal fees. Once an account
has been turned, the family will be dismissed for the practice.
SELF PAY
If you do not have insurance, you are considered to be self-pay. The guardian present will be responsible for paying
all charges billed for the appointment. We will apply a 20% courtesy discount if you are able to pay in full.
SoonerCare Patients
If the patient's SoonerCare is not fully active on the day of the service, we will do our best to contact you prior to the time of the appointment. Our providers can not treat your child until the SoonerCare is active and elgibible. We will work with you to re-schedule your child's appointment if the issue is not resolved at time of check-in.
