To streamline billing and reduce interruptions in care, KAE Cubs Pediatrics requires a valid credit or debit card to be securely stored on file for patient financial responsibilities, including copayments, deductibles, coinsurance, self-pay charges, missed appointment fees, and non-covered services.
- Authorization Terms
• Secure Storage: Your card is stored via a PCI-compliant, encrypted system. We can only see the last four digits—not the full card number.
• When Your Card May Be Charged: For balances unpaid at the time of service, including:
- Copays/deductibles
o Denied or non-covered charges
o Late cancel/no-show fees
o Self-pay or concierge visits
- Notifications: You will receive an email or paper receipt for every charge. For amounts over $100, we will notify you before processing.
- Disputes & Changes: You may cancel this authorization in writing at any time. You are responsible for keeping card details current.
- Non-Payment Policy: While providing card info is voluntary, any account that becomes delinquent may be required to place a card on file to remain in the practice. Once your card information is securely entered into our HIPAA-compliant EMR system, this form will be immediately shredded and properly disposed of.
