Payment Policy
It is the patient’s responsibility to pay for medical treatment. We file insurance as a courtesy to our patients. Payment is due at the time of service. We participate in numerous health insurance plans and will be glad to assist with any questions you may have. First time visits and new problem visits will vary in length and, therefore, vary in cost depending upon the complexity of your child’s problem. Follow-up visits generally require less time and usually cost somewhat less. X-rays and cast applications involve additional costs. For your convenience, we accept cash, personal checks, MasterCard, VISA, and American Express.
Insurance
As a convenience to our patients, we will file all insurance claims, primary and supplementary, using our computer system. Patients, insurance companies and doctor’s offices can make mistakes and it requires the assistance of all three parties to make the process work. We process refunds for over-payment on a monthly basis. Please follow your monthly statement to keep track of payments by your insurance company.
Delinquent Accounts
We realize that medical care can be quite expensive and that patients are frequently out of work due to their injury or illness. If you anticipate financial problems, please discuss it with our business office to make appropriate arrangements. When no payment is made on the account after 60 days, it is considered delinquent and special attempts to contact the responsible party will be made by telephone and mail.
