Calais Dermatology Associates Office Policy

1. Insurance Card(s): I understand that I am required to provide a valid insurance card at check-in for my visit. It is my responsibility to notify Calais Dermatology of any updates or changes to my insurance. If I am unable to provide a valid insurance card, I understand that I will need to reschedule my appointment until I can provide the necessary documentation.
2. Payment Policy: I acknowledge that all co-payments and outstanding balances, that may include co-insurance and deductibles, are required to be collected at check in. I understand all cosmetic treatments must be paid for at the time of service.
3. Account Balance: I am responsible for the timely payment of my account balance. If my balance remains unpaid after three statements have been sent, further action may be taken to resolve the balance.
4. Limited Benefit Plans: Our office does not contract with Limited Benefit Plans (LBPs). These plans provide coverage for specific services or conditions with predetermined monetary caps. If you have an LBP, you will be treated as a self-pay patient. We will provide the necessary information for you to submit to your LBP for potential reimbursement.
5. Skin Biopsies: I understand that skin biopsies are sent to Sagis, SkinDX, or Borsting laboratories for analysis. These labs have been selected based on their ability to provide comprehensive diagnostic and prognostic information, which is essential for accurate disease diagnosis, prescribing effective therapies, and determining initial early treatment options. I understand it is my responsibility to inform Calais Dermatology if I prefer my skin biopsy to a different lab due to my insurance coverage.
6. Appointment Cancellation and No-Show Policy: We value your time and strive to provide the best care possible. To offer appointments to all our patients, we ask for your cooperation with the following cancellation and no-show policy.
   1. We require 24 hours advance notice for the cancellation or rescheduling of any appointment. This allows us to accommodate other patients who may need care.
   2. If you do not show up for your scheduled appointment without providing the required 24-hour notice, you will be charged a $50 no-show fee for all medical appointments, and a $100 no show fee for all cosmetic appointments.
7. Return Policy: At Calais Dermatology, we strive to provide the highest quality care and products for our patients. To ensure the safety and integrity of all products, please note that all medications and products purchased at Calais Dermatology are nonreturnable.
8. NSF Checks: I understand that if I issue a check that is returned for insufficient funds, I will be charged a $75 NSF fee. I will make alternative payment arrangements if necessary.
9. Minor Patients: A legal guardian must accompany children under the age of 18 to all appointments.

I have read and fully understand Calais Dermatology’s office policy and acknowledge my responsibilities as outlined within.
