  Policies & Billing      
 


Payment Policy: All co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles
are due at time of service. We accept cash, check, Visa, and
Mastercard.

Your Insurance Card: Remember to bring your current insurance
card to EVERY appointment. We will submit your claim but we
must have accurate information to do so.

Deductibles: If you have a deductible, please be aware that we will
collect in full the contracted rate at the time of service. Once you
have met your deductible for the year, you may bring in proof and
we will make a note in the computer that you have met your
deductible for the remaining year with that insurance company.

Unpaid Accounts: If your account is not paid in a timely manner
or payment arrangements are not kept, we will assign your account
to a credit bureau.

Insurance Guidelines: Physicians are required to follow basic
CPT and ICD-9 guidelines when determining how to code services.
They must code your visit based upon what services were provided
and cannot take into account particular health plan benefit designs.
Consequently, we are unable to switch the visit reason and diagnosis
in order for a claim to be covered by your insurance. If you think an
error has occurred on your account, please contact the billing office
immediately.

Newborns: You should contact your insurance company as soon as
possible after your child has been born. Most health plans allow 30
days to add your newborn to your insurance plan.

Appointments: If you are unable to keep your appointment, please
call at least 24 hours in advance to cancel. If you have an additional
sick sibling, please call ahead so we can accommodate you.
