Direct Access Colonoscopy Program

Welcome to the Direct Access Colonoscopy Program

We are pleased that you have chosen ADLD as your Gastroenterology provider. You and your primary care provider have determined that you need a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is a medical procedure during which a flexible tube is used to look inside the colon.

The Alaska Digestive and Liver Disease Clinic strives to provide compassionate and high quality medical care to patients. Please note that without a full consultation it is possible that there are gastrointestinal issues that may not be addressed in the direct access program. If you would rather see the gastroenterologist in consultation we will provide you with an appointment. For a direct access colonoscopy, you will not meet the gastroenterologist in person until the day of your procedure.

You have been identified as having minimal medical problems which do not require a consultation to review. We ask that you complete our patient packet and submit it prior to being scheduled for your procedure. After your information is received and reviewed ,our office staff will call you to schedule your procedure and give you bowel preparation instructions.

Financial Policy

Thank you for choosing Alaska Digestive and Liver Disease, LLC to participate in your healthcare needs. Prior to your scheduled appointment, please call your insurance company for your benefit coverage. You must bring your insurance card and photo I.D. with you. Without these, you will be responsible to pay for any charges incurred on the date of service in which treatment is provided. The following information outlines your financial responsibilities related to payment for professional services.

ALL PATIENTS
Patients are responsible for any charges incurred on the account resulting from the treatment provided. Any balance due must be paid 90 days from the date of service unless you have contacted our billing office (907)-569-1333 to make payment arrangements.

Cancellations/Reschedules/No-Show
Drs. Daryl M. McClendon, Jeffrey W. Molloy, Austin Nelson, Martin P. Kaszubowski, and ANP Terri L. Tope reserve the right to charge patients that do not provide us with the appropriate notification in canceling/rescheduling the appointment. Our office requires 2 business days for Office Visits and 4 business days for procedures. Our policy is to charge $50.00 for office visits and $100 for procedures. This allows other patients to be scheduled into the appointment slot and for you to be efficiently rescheduled.

Collections
Should your account become delinquent and over 90 days old we will utilize a collection agency for any past due/unpaid accounts.

INSURED PATIENTS
At ADLD, we will happily bill your insurance for you as a courtesy. It is the patient’s responsibility to provide our office with current insurance information. We will ask for your insurance card at your first visit and will make a copy for our records. We will request a copy at each office visit thereafter. If current information is not obtained at the time of service, it will become the patient’s responsibility to pay the entire balance until current information is provided to our office.

• Eligibility and Coverage - Please remember that your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. Due to the many different insurance plans out there, our office cannot guarantee your eligibility and coverage. You are responsible for knowing your eligibility and coverage information.
• Referrals and Authorizations - Our billing office will attempt to obtain a referral or pre-authorization if your plan requires one. If you choose to be seen prior to receiving the referral or authorization, your insurance may not pay for your appointment and this will ultimately become the patient's responsibility.
• Procedure Statements - If you receive services at Alaska Digestive Center you will receive a separate bill from the facility and a separate bill for the physician’s time. You may also receive separate bills for anesthesia and any laboratory or pathology services. If your procedure is performed in the hospital you will receive separate bills from the hospital.
• Additional Information - You is responsible for your bill whether your insurance pays or not. To assist you in finding benefit coverage for your plan, call your insurance company with the following information: Provider Name, Provider tax ID if available, and Procedure(s) to be performed.

UNINSURED PATIENTS

All uninsured patients are eligible for a discount of 30 % of billed charges if payment is received in full on or before the date of service. Discounts offered under this policy are contingent on full payment of the agreed amount and generally will not be applied to account balances until the agreed amount has been paid in full. If there is a balance remaining you will receive a statement.

AUTHORIZATION
