Statements
  • Your statement is mailed once a month and indicates your balance. Payment is due within 15 days from receipt of the statement.
  • We will bill any balance due to your account after your insurance company responds to our filing.
  • A balance 30 days past due is subject to an 18% annual interest charge.
Private Pay Patients If you do not have insurance or if you have an insurance plan that we do not accept, fees for our services are charged directly to the patient (or guarantor) and payment is due at the time of service. We do not bill your insurance carrier but at your request, we will provide you with an invoice at each visit so that you may file a claim.

New Health Exchanges If you have insurance through a health exchange, we are not able to see you “in network” even if the plan is through an insurance company with which we do participate, such as a commercial plan with Anthem or Oxford. If you choose to continue under our care, you will be responsible to make all payments at the time of each visit. If applicable, we will provide a bill for you to submit to your insurance plan for reimbursement.

COLLECTIONS POLICY If you are unable to pay your balance on time, we will do our best to assist you with an individual payment plan. If a guarantor chooses not to work with us cooperatively to settle an overdue account, we may place the account with a collection agency.

Patients whose accounts are referred to a collection agency or law firm are required to pay the costs of collection as well as the unpaid balance in order to remain a patient of our practice.

We reserve the right to discontinue our services if your account is placed in collection or with a law firm. In that event, we will send you a medical records release so that you may transfer care and records to a new physician.
