Our Policies

Insurance and Proof of Insurance:

All patients must complete our patient information form before seeing the physician(s). We must obtain a copy of your driver’s license and current insurance card(s). New copies of your cards and updated demographic information will be required each calendar year.

We participate in many insurance plans. If we do not participate, payment in full is required at each visit.

For Medicare Advantage plans, we will honor the Medicare Part B fee schedule.

Co-payments and deductibles:

All co-payments, co-insurance, and deductibles must be paid at the time of service and will be collected upon check-in. This is a required contractual obligation with insurance companies.

Non-covered services:

Please be aware that services you receive may be non-covered or not considered reasonable or necessary by your insurance company. If so, you must pay for these charges in full at the time of service.

Some examples of fees to be collected from the patient before services are rendered are: x-ray image copying, postage, form completion, and computer-assisted surgical navigation.

If your insurance coverage cannot be verified, or your secondary insurance does not pay, we will collect charges at the time of the visit.

Knowing the benefits of the insurance you selected is your responsibility.

Payments

We accept cash, check, VISA, MasterCard, and Discover.  You can pay in person at the office, via mail, or call and provide the credit card information over the telephone.
