Payment and Billing
Payment is due at time of service. Copays are due when you
check in with the front desk for your visit. We accept Visa,
Master Card,
and American Express,
as well as cash and personal checks.
For our patients that have no insurance
we offer a 20 % discount on your bill at check out, if the bill for
that visit is paid in its entirety.
If your visit is covered by insurance, it is your responsibility
to ensure we have a copy of your current insurance card. We can file
your insurance claim
based on this information. Please realize if you have not provided accurate information,
you are personally responsible for payment of services received.
Our physicians are on the panels of most health care plans in this area. We accept
benefits from Medicare and Worker’s Compensation. We will file your office
visit with your insurance carrier or Medicare. Since we are accepting assignment
the reimbursement check will be sent to us. If you are covered by more than one
insurance plan, bring a membership card for each one. Also any time your plan
changes, be sure to notify our office.

Referrals
Not all insurance plans require a referral so before requesting one, please make
sure your insurance plan requires one. We have a referral clerk who arranges
most of our referral appointments and completes the necessary insurance authorizations.
Provide the referral clerk with dates and times when you can be available for
an appointment. For routine referrals, the patient can expect to obtain notification
in 5 days from their visit with us. At your visit you will be given a pin number
and phone number, after 5 days call and listen to a voicemail box that will give
you all pertinent information for the test or specialist appointment.
If you are a new patient, we will need to see you before we can refer to a specialist.
If you are an established patient requesting a referral for a problem for which
we have not seen you before, please make an appointment for an evaluation. This
policy enables us to provide initial evaluation so either treatment can be started
or determination of which type of specialist may need to be consulted.
If you schedule your own appointment allow one week advance notice to us so insurance
authorization can be arranged. If no advance notice is provided and the visit
is not due to an emergency, then the visit with the specialist will need to be
rescheduled so that time will be available to arrange the authorization.
If we have scheduled the initial appointment and you have to cancel, please call
and reschedule your visit with the appropriate specialist or hospital. However,
you should also notify our office of your new appointment time so we can be watching
for the test results.
