2.INSURANCE:
We are participating providers with several insurance plans. We will file all of the insurance claims for these plans. Please remember that insurance is a contract between the patient and the insurance company and ultimately the patient is responsible for payment in full. If your insurance company does not pay the practice within a reasonable period of time, you will be billed. If we later receive payment for your insurer, we will refund any overpayment to you. In order to bill your insurance and to meet filing guidelines we do ask for a copy of your policy card and an ID card or license is now required due to the many cases of identity theft in the news lately
If our providers are not listed in your plan's network, you may be responsible for partial or full payment. If you are insured by a plan with which we have no prior arrangement, we will prepare and send the claim in for you on an unassigned basis. This means the insurer may send the payment directly to you and therefore, our charges for you are due at the time of service.
Due to the many different insurance products out there, our staff cannot guarantee your eligibility and coverage. Especially, patients with HMO plans need to be eligible at time of service with their health plan with a valid authorization. It is your responsibility to check with you insurer's member benefits department about services and providers before your appointment.
