Office Policies
Payment Responsibility The patient or his/her legal representative is ultimately responsible for all charges incurred.  
Assignment of Benefits As a courtesy to our patients we will bill their insurance plan. We will do so only if the patient provides the required insurance information. We will make every effort to help our patients understand their insurance; however it is ultimately the patient’s responsibility to be familiar with their health insurance plan. Please bear in mind that your insurance is a contract between you, your employer and your insurance company, of which we are not a party. We cannot guarantee payment of claims, and a reduction or rejection of your claim does not relieve you of your financial obligation. In the event that your insurance plan sends you a check for payment of services rendered in this office, we ask that you please make this check payable to us at the time of receipt. If this is not done, the patient will then become responsible for the outstanding balance.   

Self-Pay Patients / Non-Covered Services

Payment for all charges which are not covered by insurance may be requested and are due at the time services are rendered. If the patient is unable to make full payment on these charges, it may become necessary to request for a payment arrangement to be made.

  
Prior Unpaid Accounts

Prior to providing services, payment of outstanding accounts may be requested. At this time, payment should be received or a payment arrangement may be requested. Patients with unpaid delinquent accounts may be denied treatment if not medically required.

  
Payment Arrangements

If a patient is unable to make full payment of the patient balance when due, periodic partial payments may be arranged through CareCredit, a service offered by GE Capital Consumer Card Co. A patient financial evaluation may be requested to determine appropriate payment arrangements.

 
Methods of Payment

We accept cash, checks, CareCredit, VISA and MasterCard.

 
Returned Check Fees There is a $35.00 fee for checks returned due to insufficient funds.
