I understand that as a courtesy to me, Dr. Wegman may bill my claim to my insurance company according to the rules or policies of my insurance company. I authorize my insurance company to send their determination and/or payment of my insurance claim directly to Dr. Wegman. I understand that Dr. Wegman participates with most Blue Cross policies, Medicare, several HMO’s and other commercial insurance companies. If my insurance company requires a referral from my primary physician to process my claim, I understand that it is my responsibility to obtain the referral. If I do not obtain a referral, I agree to be responsible for payment of the claim. If I have an insurance with which Dr. Wegman does not contract, or I do not have insurance, my signature on this form indicates my acceptance of my financial responsibility for the charges for my visit. I authorize Dr. Wegman to release any personal, medical, and/or financial information (including alcohol, drug abuse, mental health, HIV, AIDS & AIDS-related complex treatment) related to my care, to my insurance carrier(s) or persons/agency responsible for the processing of my medical claim.
I understand that for my best medical care Dr. Wegman prefers to do a complete skin evaluation. During my evaluations, Dr. Wegman may diagnose skin conditions that he considers to be medically necessary or advisable to treat today. The treatment of these conditions will be billed separately from the office call to my insurance company according to general coding guidelines. Diagnosis of some conditions may require a KOH, which is a scraping of the skin that Dr. Wegman will examine under the microscope. Certain wounds require treatment with special surgical dressings and/or debridement that will also be billed separately to my insurance company. Cryotherapy, is the application of Liquid Nitrogen, which is an extremely cold substance used to freeze/burn lesions or growths on the skin. Your insurance company may call this procedure a “surgery” on your explanation of benefits. If an area treated today does not resolve, your insurance will be charged for whatever treatment is necessary when you return. Some conditions require more than one treatment. Each time you are treated with Liquid Nitrogen, your insurance company will be billed. Any of these above medically necessary procedures that are performed today will be billed to my insurance in accordance with coding guidelines and insurance regulations.
I understand that I will receive a statement from Dr. Wegman’s office if a balance remains after my insurance company processes my claim and determines that I am responsible for a co-pay, co-insurance, deductible or any other amount that my insurance company approves but does not pay to Dr. Wegman. This unpaid balance will remain my responsibility until it is paid. I agree to be responsible for any balance my insurance company determines I am responsible for and does not pay to Dr. Wegman. Dr. Wegman offers several methods of paying my balance due. I may mail my payment, bring it to the office, or call and have the balance or a partial payment applied to my credit card. If the check I use to make payment from my bank account has insufficient funds, I will be charged any bank fees that Dr. Wegman incurs as a result of the transaction. When possible, my deductible and copay will be determined prior to my visit. The office may call me to ask that I bring my office call copay and/or approximately $150 of my deductible to my appointment. These payments will be applied to any charges processed but not paid by my insurance company. If I am experiencing a financial hardship a CareCredit application can be submitted at my appointment. In addition, I may set up a payment plan. If I have any questions regarding my charges or remaining balance I may ask to speak to the Billing Specialist. I understand that Dr. Wegman charges a no-show fee for any missed appointments. I understand that Dr. Wegman charges a no-show fee for any missed appointments.
