All deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance are due at the time services are rendered. Payments can be made by check, cash, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover.
If you have medical insurance, a claim will be filed with your insurance. Our office participates in many insurance plans. This means a discounted fee is accepted for many services. The co-pays, deductible, and co-insurance that are deducted from the final allowable fee are the responsibility of the patient or parent if patient is a minor.
These allowable fees with insurance companies can (and will) change often. Many change these “allowable fees” throughout various months of the year, while Medicare usually changes on a calendar year. Since these are somewhat un-predictable, there may be a balance after your insurance pays their amount.
A statement will be sent for any remaining balance. After 90 days any unpaid amounts will have a $20.00 collection fee added and will be forwarded to a collection service. Further interest and fees will be added through assigned collection service accordingly to their policies.
Cancellations: We require a 24-hour notice if you must cancel of reschedule your appointment. If you cancel the same day as your appointment, this will be considered a missed appointment. We reserve the right to charge a $50.00 fee for no-show/late cancellations.
No-Call / No-Show: 3 no-call/no-show appointments will be grounds from dismissal from the practice. Upon your request and written authorization, we will release your records to the doctor of your choice.
The cancellation and no-show fee are the sole responsibility of the patient and must be paid in full before the patient’s next appointment.
