Insurance & Fees
It has long been a policy of this practice that payment for services rendered is required at the time of service. If, however, your visit is covered by an insurance plan with which we participate, then only the co-pay is required at the time of the visit. While we do not like to dwell on this issue, we must enforce this. Therefore, if a co-pay is not paid at the time of the visit, a surcharge will be added to the co-pay and will be the responsibility of the patient.
If this is an important issue for you, then you are urged to call the office to be sure that your company is one with which we participate. A number of patients come to us with insurance coverage with whom we DO NOT participate. If this situation applies to you, we will try to help you get the reimbursement from your insurance company. You will be expected to pay for the services at the time of your visit.
