Financial Statement & Authorizations

It is the policy of this practice that payment in full is due at the time services are rendered.  We are happy to accept your payment by check, cash, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.  We will submit claims to those insurance companies with whom we have a contract; however, it is the sole responsibility of the insured to know the type of insurance, assigned primary care physician, and copays or deductibles.  All other patients will be given receipts that will be sufficient to submit to an insurance company for reimbursement.   All co-pays, deductibles, and coinsurances are due at the time services are rendered.  In the event, you are not prepared to pay at the time of service you may be asked to reschedule if your needs are not medically urgent.  Any balances that are over 90 days past due will be turned over to a collection agency unless previous arrangements have been made.
