FINANCIAL
We request payment
for services not covered by insurance at the time of your visit
unless other financial arrangements have been made. Generally, this
means you are responsible for payment at the time of your first
examination, as well as subsequent office visits. Visa and
MasterCard are accepted for your convenience.
We will submit
any diagnostic testing directly to your insurance company. We will
also submit to a secondary carrier if you have one, except in the
case of outpatient services. Balances remaining after insurance
payment are the patient's responsibility.
Some insurance
companies will pay you directly. We need to stress that, in this
case, we expect your payment promptly. Also, you are always
responsible for deductible and co-insurance (usually 20%). If you
anticipate any sort of financial difficulty, please bring this to
the attention of our financial counselor at the earliest possible
time. We will always work with you when you are willing to work with
us.
Finally, the obligation for the prompt payment of your
account rests solely with you. While we will assist you, it is
ultimately your responsibility to settle your account quickly and to
collect from your insurance company, particularly when that company
is slow in making payment.
