Calais Dermatology Associates Office Policy

Insurance Card Policy: We require you to confirm that your insurance is current at each office visit. New patients or existing patients with a change in their insurance information must provide a valid insurance card or temporary print out at the time of the visit. Should you be unable to provide this documentation, you may pay in full at the time of service and submit the claim to your insurance carrier for reimbursement. I understand by signing below I am responsible for notifying Calais Dermatology Associates of any changes to my insurance.

Payment Policy: Co-Payments, Co-Insurance, Deductibles, and all outstanding balances are due and collected on the day of my or my family’s appointment.

Account Balances: I am responsible for the timely payment of my account balances, co-insurance, and deductibles. All balances are due in full within 30 days of my first billing. Any balance left unpaid after 90 days, without an attempt at resolution, will be considered delinquent and may be submitted to a collection agency. If I am having financial difficulty, I will call the billing office to discuss a payment plan.

Minor patients: A legal guardian must accompany children under the age of 18 to their initial appointment so that the proper forms can be filled out and signed. Follow up visits do not require a guardian’s presence, unless a procedure is being performed that requires a signed consent form.

Appointment Cancellations: If I am unable to keep my scheduled appointment, I will call Calais Dermatology to cancel or reschedule my appointment. All Regular and Cosmetic appointments require 24-hour cancellation notice. Deposits for Cosmetic appointments are nonrefundable in the event the appointment is not cancelled 24-hours in advance. Surgical appointments require 48-hour cancellation notice. After 3 no-show appointments without providing proper 24 hours' advance notice, I will be dismissed from Calais Dermatology. Please note this courtesy makes it possible to give your reserved time to another patient who may really need it.

Skin Biopsies: Calais sends all skin biopsies to Sagis Labs. Sagis provides us with comprehensive diagnostic and prognostic information so we can accurately diagnose the disease, prescribe effective therapies, and initiate early treatment options. If you would like your labs to be sent to a different lab, it is your responsibility to let the nurse know at the time of your visit.
