Fees and Payments
We require that you pay for services at the time of each visit. An estimate of the charge for any procedure or lab work will be given when requested, and we encourage you to ask. If you have a large bill or current financial difficulties, you should speak with the administrative assistant or head receptionist to work out a suitable arrangement. If your account becomes past due and there is no valid reason for your payment delay, appropriate action will be taken to recover the amount due. If your account is ever turned over to collections, you will then be responsible also for the collection fees.

The charge for a non-sufficient check is $25.00. We accept payments on your account with approved checks, cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

Elective Surgery
Financial arrangements for elective surgery must be made prior to the surgery through our account manager.

Insurance
Health insurance policies are contracts between you and your insurance company. As a courtesy to our patients, we are a specialty provider for most PPO plans, and we will file for you. You will be responsible for any referrals needed, your co-pay, and meeting your calendar deductible. Any questions regarding your coverage should be directed to your insurance company rather than this office.

Confidentiality
In order to ensure confidentiality, we do not give out medical information about you to others. Even close relatives or insurance companies cannot obtain this information without your consent.
