Insurance
Prior arrangements have been made with many insurers and other health plans. We will bill these insurers/plans and collect any required co-payment when you arrive for your appointment. Any balance not covered by your plan will be your responsibility and due upon receipt of statement.
Billing / Insurance
Our staff is committed to providing the best possible care and customer service to our patients. We’ve put together the following financial policy to help assist you. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Patient Refunds
Refunds will be issued within 30 days of reconciling the account balance if it is determined that a refund is owed to the patient.
Overpayment
Payers are given 30 days to retract an overpayment at which time the account will be reviewed and if it’s determined that an overpayment was made a refund check will be issued.
Payment Plans
Arrangements can be made for balances over $300 that have been transferred to patient responsibility. Patients are expected to pay half up front and the remaining is expected to be paid off in two equal monthly payments. Patient balances between $300-$500 may be paid off within a six month period and anything over $500 will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Self Pay
Patients will receive one automated phone call prior to their first statement being sent; this is an opportunity to call our offices and provide insurance information, set up payment plans or pay their account in full.
Credit Cards
Payments are only accepted at the physician’s office.
Statements and Final Notices
These are mailed every 30 days. Patients will receive one final notice and then their account will be reviewed for collection. Past due patients can expect an automated phone call reminding them that the balance is due.
Liability Cases
It is the patient’s responsibility to ensure that we have the correct billing information. The patient is also responsible and subject to the entire billing cycle (two statements, one final notice and then sent for collection review).
Worker’s Compensation
It is the patient’s responsibility to provide accurate information for the purposes of billing the claim. Should the WC carrier deny the claim for a non-clinical reason then the balance is transferred to patient responsibility and subject to the entire billing cycle and collection activities.
Minor Patients
It is the accompanying adult’s responsibility for payment of all services rendered to minor patients.
