We are dedicated to providing the best possible care for you and we want you to completely understand our financial policy. Please take the time to review and feel free to ask any questions before signing.
- Payment is due at the time of service. We are currently in network with Medicare, and most PPO plans. You are responsible for your co-pay, co-insurance or deductible as outlined in your insurance plan.
- Medicare Patients: You are responsible for your yearly deductible and 20% coinsurance as outlined by Medicare. If you have a secondary insurance carrier, a portion of your co insurance may be covered. Any outstanding balance not picked up by insurance will fall into patient responsibility.
- Keep in mind that your insurance policy is a contract between you and your carrier. Plan details were picked out by you and it is your responsibility to be aware of those plan details.
- If you are insured by a plan we do not have a prior arrangement with, we will prepare and send the claim for you on an unassigned basis. This means the insurer will send the payment directly to you. Therefore, our charges are due at the time of service.
- As a service to you we will file your insurance claim if you assign the benefits to the doctor. In other words: you agree to have the insurance company pay the doctor directly. If your insurance company does not pay the practice within a reasonable period, you will be responsible for the charges.
- Not all insurance plans cover office visit charges, diagnostic tests, lab work etc. In the event that your insurance determines a service as “not covered” you will be responsible for the charges. Please be aware your signature below is your agreement to payment upon receipt of statements from our office.
- We will bill your insurance company for all doctor services provided in the hospital. You will be responsible for any remaining balance.
- Payment may be made in cash, personal check or Visa/Mastercard. There will be a $25.00 charge for all checked that are returned for insufficient funds.
- Statements are sent out on a monthly basis. If it is necessary to assign your account to our collection agency and/or attorney, you will be responsible for any potential collection agency and attorney fees/costs we incur.
I have read and understand the practice’s financial policy. I agree to be bound by it’s terms. I also understand and agree that such terms may be amended by the practice from time to time.
We are proud to serve your health needs and look forward to working with you in the future.
