Financial Policy

Patient name: *

Payment for office examinations and treatment is due at the time service is rendered unless you are covered by a health insurance plan with whom your healthcare provider is contracted or previous arrangements have been made with the office manager or billing department.

INSURANCE: Insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company. We are NOT a party to this contract, in most cases. We will bill your insurance company as a courtesy to you. Although we may estimate what your insurance company may pay, it is the insurance company that makes the final determination of your eligibility and reimbursment. You agree to pay any portion of the charges not covered by insurance. If your insurance company requires a referral and/or pre-authorization, you are responsible for obtaining it. Failure to obtain the referral and/or authorization may result in a lower payment from the insurance company leaving you with a higher balance.

Insurance is a method of reimbursing YOU, the patient, for fees you have paid to the doctor; IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PAYMENT. We are happy to assist you in submitting your insurance claims, however, in the event we have not received payment from your insurance plan within (45) days you will be responsible for the entire balance.
