STATEMENT OF POLICIES
Third Party Insurance: If we are a preferred provider for your insurance carrier, we will bill your insurance. Your co-payment is due at the time of service. If we are not a preferred provider, you are required to pay the remaining portion of your bill per your insurance’s guidelines. We accept cash, personal checks or credit cards. There is a $25.00 fee for any returned checks.
Workers' Compensation: If you have an active Workers' Compensation number and you are expecting bills to be paid by Workers' Compensation (WC), we will send the appropriate forms, reports, and bills to your WC carrier providing we have a letter from your referring physician, your attorney, or WC carrier verifying your WC number and the acceptance of your case.
Automobile and Litigation Cases: Payment is expected at the time of the services, including evaluation and treatment. Your records can only be relased after payment has been received.
Self Pay: Payment in full is expected at each visit. You will be given a copy of your bill, if needed, to submit for reimbursement. We accept cash, personal checks, or credit cards. There is a $25.00 fee for any returned checks.
Reports and Forms (life insurance, disability, social security, etc.): Reports will be furnished on request at the completion of course of treatment. This request must be in writing and must specify to whom and where the report should go. Please request a Records Release Form for this purpose. We require a standard $15.00 fee, payable in advance, to cover administrative costs for preparation of medical reports. A nominal fee may be charged for filling out lengthy insurance or disability forms.
Appointment Cancellation: Should you find it necessary to cancel your appointment, we require that we be notified 24 hours in advance. If adequate notification of cancellation is not made, you, not your insurance carrier, will be charged for the missed appointment. The fee for this is $65.00 per visit, no exceptions. We reserve the right to drop your appointment if two scheduled appointments are missed without proper notification. Your physician and/or insurance carrier will be informed of the missed appointments. In order to insure continuous treatment, please be present and punctual for all appointments.
