Payment for Services/ Insurance Billing
Payment is expected at the time services are rendered unless prior arrangements have been made. If we are a member of your insurance plan, we will submit a claim on your behalf with payment due according to the appropriate provider contract. A current insurance card must be presented prior to services being rendered if you wish to have your insurance billed. Any office visit or surgical copay is due at time of service.
Please be aware that the filing of insurance claims does not guarantee payment by your carrier. Frequently, proof of eligibility, covered and non covered services and various exclusions cannot be determined until your carrier processes the claim. Therefore, we do submit insurance claims with the understanding that you are responsible for any non-covered services as well as co-payments and deductibles.
