Employees
Please read the following in its entirety. Our receptionist will be glad to address your questions or concerns.
All Co-pays are due at time of service. We accept MasterCard, Visa, cash, and checks.
Unless a financial hardship is proven, waiving a co-pay or deductible aids the patient in violating his or her contract with the insurance company. Insurance companies are notified when the co-pay is not paid.
It is Your Responsibility to let our office know if you have changed insurance companies since your last visit, and which hospital(s) is/are in your plan. Our office must have an up-to-date copy of your insurance card in order to forward claims.
If you have not heard from your insurance company within three (3) or four (4) weeks, then you need to contact your insurance company to make sure they are paying the claims. We do file with your insurance company; if they have not paid, the charges covered, or not covered, are always your responsibility. The contract is between you and the insurance company, not our office.
If you have medicaid and you have been terminated or you have a spend-down to meet, then you will be responsible for paying the portion due.
If you cannot pay your balance in its entirety then you should call our office to set up a payment plan.
If after forty-five (45) days the balance due on your account is not paid, and you have not made payment arrangements, your account will be turned over to a collection agency. You will be responsible for collection effort fees, including attorney and court cost; this could result in your being terminated as a patient in our practice. There will be a $25.00 charge for all checks returned from the bank as a result of insufficient funds in your account.
