We ask that all patients pay for their office visit at the time of service, unless you have prior arrangements made with our billing department or payment plan agreement.
TO OUR PATIENTS WITH INSURANCE COVERAGE:
If you have a co-pay with your insurance, you must pay it at each office visit. We will be happy to file all charges with your insurance once you have given us your complete insurance information. We will ask to run a copy of your insurance card. Insurance information must be provided within 30 days of the appointment or the patient will be made a self-pay. However, if your insurance does not pay within 90 days, it is your responsibility to contact them in reference to payment. If you do not want us to file with your insurance, please let us know. Please contact our billing department for any assistance you may need. You will be reimbursed for any overpayment made to us or your insurance will be reimbursed for overpayments made by your insurance company.
WORKMAN'S COMPENSATION PATIENTS:
If you were injured in the course of employment, we will file your compensation claim for you once we have verification from your employer, the insurance carrier, and claim number. We will still ask for your personal insurance information for future use if needed. You will be responsible for any charges not pain within 90 days by your workman's compensation insurance. If at any time we can help you with your compensation claim, please contact our billing department.
Medicare requires all Medicare patients to sign the following before we can file your claim. I request that payment of authorized Medicare benefits be made either to me or on my behalf to Dr. Powell for any services furnished by that physician. I authorized any holder of medical information about me to release the Health Care Financing Administration and its agents, and to my insurance company, any information needed to determine these benefits or the benefits payable to related services.
