Financial Policy: The following is a statement of our financial policy, we require you to read and sign prior to treatment. In the event that you have a question regarding treatment fees, please discuss them with us promptly. We will make every effort to avoid a misunderstanding.
If your insurance carrier fails to pay your claims within 45 days from the date of service the balance will become the patient’s responsibility. Regardless of insurance coverage, you are responsible for your account to be paid in a timely manner. Please be aware some and perhaps all of the services provided may be considered “non-covered” services and are not considered reasonable and or necessary under your policy. These services will be your responsibility to pay. Kindly note that your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company; we are not a third party to that contract and cannot be responsible for their failure to timely pay for services rendered. Treatment fees will be billed to the insurance company separate from an office visit. In the event that the treatment is not covered under the patient’s insurance plan, the patient will be responsible for payment to be made promptly. Some treatments (i.e. Cryotherapy) may require multiple office visits in which the insurance company will be billed for the services rendered at each visit
Plastic Surgery and Dermatology Associates will submit to those insurances that we are participating providers with. If we do not participate with your insurance you are expected to pay at the time of service. You may seek reimbursement from your insurance carrier.

Payment in full is required prior to the procedure being performed. Prepayment time frame will vary depending on the procedure. Payment arrangements will be made prior to scheduling. Cosmetic procedures are not billed to your insurance company.
