HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS COVERED?
We have enrolled in numerous insurance programs in order to accommodate the needs and requests of our patients. While we are pleased to be able to provide this service to you, unfortunately we are unable to track all the individual benefits of the plans. Each one has different stipulations regarding how often services may be rendered and what they will cover. Even within the same insurance company, the plans differ depending upon what type of contract your employer has negotiated or which policy you have chosen to enroll in.
Please keep in mind, while we do have contracts with most of the major carriers; we are NOT providers for many of the Affordable Healthcare Act Policies they offer. The ultimate responsibility in finding out if we are an in-network provider rests with you. Plans change annually and so can their networks or our affiliation with certain networks.
As a courtesy, we verify eligibility; however the information we receive is very basic and only a quote of benefits. For detailed information regarding your insurance benefits, please contact your insurance company directly.
Secondary Insurance: Having more than one insurer DOES NOT necessarily mean that your services are covered 100%. We do not bill secondary insurance.
While no one likes to discuss paying bills, it’s a necessary evil we must all face. In order to improve our office efficiency, reduce our overhead expenses, and ensure that we can financially sustain ourselves in order to continue providing our patients the services they are accustomed to, the following are our policies regarding outstanding balances. All outstanding balances not paid within 90 days may be turned over to a collection agency, and a discharge notice terminating patient care will be sent to you. All costs incurred in collecting a delinquent account will also be added to your charges. During this 30 day period, discharged patients will need to transfer medical care to another physician’s office; however, we will continue to provide emergency medical care to you during this time period. If the balance is not paid within that 30 days, patient care will be officially terminated. Depending on the amount of the balance, payment plans for no more than a 3 to 6 month time frame may be granted on anindividual basis. Any payment plan obligations not met, will be immediately turned over to collections and patient care terminated as described above.
