REFERRAL INFORMATION
It is the policy of Kansas City Foot and Ankle to have a credit or debit card on file for all patients. The credit or debit card on file will be used for co-pays, in-office purchases or balances due on your account.
(Medicare subscribers with a secondary plan are not required to keep a credit card on file)
Your insurance plan is required to send you an Explanation of Benefits (EOB), which will state any balance remaining to be paid by you. If your insurance carrier assigns any additional patient responsibility amounts after the claim is processed, we will contact you by automated phone call, email or text message to alert you of the balance due on your account 7 days before processing the payment with your card on file.*
*Balances of $25 or less may be charged automatically without notification.
Should you decide to use an alternate method of payment, please alert our office within the 7-day notice period.
If your credit or debit card on file expires or otherwise becomes noncollectable, we will contact you to promptly provide a new credit or debit card for payment on account balances.
If after insurance has processed and your account acquires a credit and no outstanding services are pending, a refund will be made back to the card originally used.
A receipt may be emailed or mailed to you to confirm your payment upon request. Receipts and statements are available on the patient portal.
Account balances remaining unpaid for more than 45 days will become eligible for collections process.
Please sign below to acknowledge understanding of the above financial policy.

Thank you for choosing our office for your medical care. We are committed to providing you with high quality health care. The medical services provided by our office are services you have elected to receive which may imply a financial responsibility on your part.
INSURANCE: We participate in most insurance plans including Medicare. If you are not insured by a plan we participate with, payment in full is expected at each visit. If you are insured by a plan we participate with, but do not have an up-to-date insurance card, payment in full for each visit is required until we can verify your coverage. Knowing your insurance benefits is your responsibility. Please contact your insurance company with any questions you may have regarding your coverage. If you are seeing our doctors on an “out of network” basis, you will be subject to out of network rates. We will submit your claims and assist you in any way we reasonably can to help get your claims paid. Your insurance company may need you to supply certain information directly. It is your responsibility to comply with their request. Please be aware that the balance of your claim is your responsibility whether or not your insurance company pays your claim. Your insurance benefit is a contract between you and your insurance company. You are responsible for all authorizations/referrals/pre-certifications needed to seek treatment with Kansas City Foot and Ankle physicians. Your medical claim will be forwarded to your secondary insurance (if any) after payment and/or explanation of benefits (EOB) is received from your primary insurance company.
COPAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES: All co-payments and deductibles must be paid at the time of service. This arrangement is part of your contract with your insurance company and we are required by law to collect co-payments and deductible payments at the time of service. Please assist us in compliance with our obligations by paying your co-payment and deductible payment at each visit. In the event that you do not pay your copayment or deductible payment at the time of service, we will charge the credit card on file for such co-payment or deductible amount.
SELF PAY: Payment in full is due at the time of service if you do not have health insurance.
NON-COVERED SERVICES: Please be aware that some of the services you receive may not be covered or not considered reasonable or necessary by Medicare or other insurers. You are responsible for payment of these services.
CANCELLATIONS: Your appointment time has been reserved specifically for you. In the event that you will be unable to attend your scheduled appointment, we ask that you call our office at least 24 hours in advance in order to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This will allow us to offer this appointment time to another patient who may need our services. If our office does not receive 24 hours’ notice of your cancellation, you may be charged a $50 “no-show fee.” These charges are not covered by your insurance and are due before any other appointments will be rescheduled. Our office staff or voicemail will note the date and time of your call. In the event that you must cancel and cannot reach the office personnel, please leave a message with our answering service or on our voicemail system. No fee will be charged if your call is received within the above time frame.
PRIVACY STATEMENT: Any information disclosed in your records will remain confidential and will not be used for any other reason except in providing quality care and treatment as well as to submit your claim to your insurance company and contact you as needed.
PATIENT BILLING: You will receive a receipt of all charges. By executing this Financial Policy and Patient Authorization, you hereby guarantee payment of all charges from Kansas City Foot & Ankle, P.C. for medical services and treatment provided. If for any reason we are unable to collect payment in full via credit/debit card on file on file you will receive notice requiring immediate payment for services. If we do not receive payment in full for the balance due, a second and last notice will be provided. If after the second and last notice we do not receive payment in full for the balance due, your account may be forwarded to collections, and you hereby agree that if Kansas City Foot & Ankle, P.C. places your account with an agency or attorney for collection, you will pay Kansas City Foot & Ankle, P.C. all of its costs and expenses in collecting monies owed by you to the extent allowed by applicable law.
