Financial Policy

 

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our office, and to let you know we are committed to providing you with the best possible care. So there is no misunderstanding as to what our Financial Policy is, please take this opportunity to read this information. We will gladly discuss your proposed treatment and answer questions relating to your care.

If you do not have health insurance, payment for services is due at the time services are rendered unless payment arrangements have been approved in advance. To assist you, we accept cash, checks, MasterCard, Discover or Visa.

If you have insurance, we will file it as a courtesy to you, provided we have your assignment of benefits. You must realize, however, that your insurance is a contract between you and the insurance company. Payment to us is your responsibility. If your insurance hasn’t remitted payment to us at the end of thirty working days, payment will be due in full from you. Please keep in mind that not all services are covered benefits in all contracts. Some insurance companies arbitrarily select certain services they will not cover. If you should want to avail yourself at any time of our credit card payment system, we do accept MasterCard, Discover, or Visa, as mentioned above.

If belong to an HMO or PPO, we follow the guidelines set forth in these plans. If it is applicable, please be sure to bring a referral form with you to your appointment. Services cannot be rendered if proper authorization hasn’t been given.

We realize that temporary financial problems may affect timely payment of your account. If such problems arise, we encourage you to contact us promptly for assistance in the management of your account. We do use outside agencies as a means of collection should we deem it necessary.

If you have any questions about the above information or any uncertainty regarding insurance coverage, do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help you.
