PATIENT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read this Notice, and that I understand and agree to its terms

Office Financial Policy

 

It is our office policy that all services rendered are the responsibility of the patient, and that you are ultimately personally responsible for all payments regardless of whether or not this office accepts insurance assignment.

Patients Reasonability:

Deductibles and all co-payments are expected at the time of service, cash patients are required to pay at time of service, unless on a pre-arranged payment plan. Personal balances should not exceed $200 at any time, unless on a pre-arranged payment plan.

It is the policy of this office to extend to our patients the courtesy of assigning your insurance benefits directly to us. We are happy to extend this credit to you so that you can follow through with all of the care you may require. The following are important points of consideration to be aware of:

1.     As a courtesy to you, our office will pre-qualify your insurance coverage, in an effort to help you determine what coverage is available to you under your policy. We will help you make the best estimate of your coverage for the recommended services. This service is a courtesy to you and not a guarantee of payment. As the patient we recommend you to call your insurance company to fully understand your chiropractic benefits. As a courtesy, this office will submit secondary insurance, if necessary.

2.     If your insurance has not paid on an assigned bill within 60 days, you will be sent a statement via mail. Since we do not own your policy, we may ask you to stay in communication with our office and take action with your insurance company at that time. If it remains unpaid, the balance becomes due and payable immediately, and your assignment is revoked.

3.     If your insurance benefits reach a maximum, you agree that any additional care you receive at Powell Chiropractic Clinic will be your financial responsibility.

4.     All patients whose treatment visitation schedule is once per month or longer may not be eligible for insurance assignment as this level of care is rarely covered by insurance. Our office offers wellness plans to allow you to continue needed care.

5.     No one can predict what an insurance company will pay for the usual and customary charges for services rendered. If we participate on your plan, you will not encounter balance billing above the stated fee schedule. If we do not participate, we will work with you to determine the amount of coverage and help estimate your responsibility.

6.     Should you discontinue care for any reason; any and all balances will become due and payable at that time. If you are on a predetermined payment plan, that plan will continue to be in effect until your balance in zero, unless you fail to keep up with your payment plan.

7.     If the patient being treated is a minor, a parent/guardian. For services rendered to minor patients, the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the minor are responsible for payment.

8.     The goal of our office is to provide you with the finest quality chiropractic care available. If you have any questions with regard to your health care or any of our policies, please let us know.
