Financial and Insurance Information
Our office encourages payment at the time of service, regardless
of insurance coverage.
We consider the patient primarily responsible for the account,
but we are happy to submit claims to your primary insurance carrier
on your behalf. Please help us to keep your insurance records up
to date and accurate so that reimbursement can take place in a timely
manner. If you are covered by a managed care insurance plan, co-payments
are expected at the time of service.
Some insurance plans pay for preventive/wellness care while others,
including standard Medicare, do not. We ask that you check your
insurance benefits to know whether or not there is coverage for
preventive care. If your insurance does not cover preventive care,
and if you obtain this service, you will be directly responsible
for the portion of the visit charge that pertains to preventive
care. If your insurance does cover a preventive examination, and
at the time of such an exam there are significant illnesses addressed,
your insurance will be billed for both a preventive and illness
visit.
Please notify your physician at the time of your visit if you
have coverage for, and are expecting, a preventive examination.
