FINANCIAL POLICIES

Head and Neck Associates will submit claims to your insurance company for all medical services rendered. We will attempt to verify eligibility and benefits with your insurance company; however, this verification is not a guarantee of payment. Any expenses deemed not covered by your insurance company will be your financial responsibility.

All monies owed by the patient, i.e., office visit copayments and non-covered services or supplies are due at the time of service. Also, when applicable, coinsurance percentages and/or deductibles may be collected at the time of service. Please be aware that this office will bill only for the physicians’ services. Any other services related to your office visits, i.e., laboratory, radiology or pathology will be billed by the facility providing these services.

It is your responsibility to provide Head and Neck Associates with proof of insurance and an authorization number or referral when applicable. If these items are not provided we ask that you pay in full at the time of service.

The contract between Head and Neck Associates and your health plan, as well as the contract between you and your health plan requires that you make payment in full of all co-payments and deductible amounts deemed to be your responsibility upon claims processing. Additional discounts are forbidden by contract unless financial hardship is documented in writing by the patient.

Our office accepts the following forms of payment: most major credit cards, cash, and personal checks. A $20 service charge will be assessed to your account for any check returned by your bank.
