  • Patient Financial Responsibility Policy

    Thank you for choosing Amerejuve Dermatology Practice to serve the health care needs for you and your family. We are pleased to participate in your health care and look forward to establishing a lasting relationship as your health care provider. As part of this relationship, we have outlined our expectations for your financial responsibility in our Patient Financial Responsibility Policy. Please read this document thoroughly.

    Insurance Policy:

    • It is important for you to be an informed consumer who understands the specifications of your insurance policy (e.g., vaccine and doctor visit coverage, referral/authorization requirements for specialty care, radiographs, laboratory tests, urgent care facility care). Your health insurance policy is a contract between you and your Health Insurance Company or employer. Please note it is your responsibility to know if your insurance has specific rules or regulations, such as the need for referrals, pre-certifications, pre-authorizations and limits on the outpatient charges regardless of whether or not our physicians participate in your plan.
    • You must present a current insurance care at each visit. As a courtesy to you, we will bill your insurance company directly for medical services rendered. If problems arise regarding coverage issues, we will attempt to work with your insurance to help resolve them prior to making it your responsibility. However, please be advised that you are nevertheless ultimately financially responsible for payment of medical services rendered.
    • If you do not present a current insurance care, you will be responsible for payment at the time of your visit. You will receive reimbursement from Amerejuve Dermatology if your insurance pays the claim at a later date.
    • If you insurance carrier is not one with which we participate, you are responsible for payment in full.
    • Insurance plans and Medicare consider some services to be “non-covered,” in which case you are responsible for payment in full.
    • Accordingly, insurers are required to pay a properly submitted claim within 45 days. You have a responsibility to provide information to our office so a claim can be properly submitted. If your insurance company has not paid a claim on your behalf within 90 days, the balance will be transferred to your account and you will be responsible for payment. If we receive payment at a later date, you will be reimbursed. 
    • If you are uncertain about your current health insurance policy benefits you should contact your plan to learn the details about your benefits, our-of-pocket fees and coverage limits.
    • Amerejuve Dermatology contracts with many insurance plans. Before you appointment, please be sure your doctor is in-network and the services are covered under your plan, If you doctor is out-of-network, you may be responsible for a higher co-pay and/or deductible or you may be billed for the cost of care. 
    • If we contact your insurance carrier regarding benefits or authorization on your behalf, we are not responsible for inaccurate information provided to us by your carrier. The information about your plan that we relay to you is in good faith and represents what the carrier has shared with us.

  • Fees:

    • Returned checks are subject to a $25 fee and your account will be placed on a “cash-only basis.” We will accept payments only by cash or credit card until the balance is cleared.
    • Failure to give 24 cancellation notice or failure to keep your scheduled appointment may result in a charge of $20 for doctors’ appointment and $50 for counseling. Missed appointments represent a cost to us, to you and to other patients who could have been seen in the time set aside for you.
