Our Mission & Practice

Policies

Office Policies

• We accept the following forms of payment: cash, check, debit, credit.
• Please do not wear strong perfumers or colognes. We see many patients with allergies or respiratory problems. Strong scents can impair their progress.
• Continued cancellations or missed appointments may result in being released for care. If you need to reschedule an appointment, please call within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment.
• Children are welcome here as patients. If you bring children with you for your appointment, you are responsible for their actions at all times. Our staff will assist you with your well-behaved children.
• We may schedule you for multiple appointments. This will help ensure convenient appointment times for you, as well as provide you with the highest level of care possible.
• If you need to spend extra time discussing your health concerns with your doctor, please let our staff know, so we may schedule your next appointment accordingly.
• Please notify your doctor of any changes in your health status, regardless of the significance.

Financial Policies

• We accept the following forms of payment: cash, check, debit, credit.
• Payment is expected at the time of visit unless other arrangements have been documented.
• The patient is always responsible for the payment of their care. An insurance contract is between the patient and the insurance company.
• Insurance coverage is never guaranteed. If there are any problems between the insurance company and the patient, the latter may file a grievance directly with your insurance company. A signature will assign assignment to this office for collection of benefits and also authorizes this office to release daily chart notes when necessary for the processing of claims.
• The Office Manager may approve account balances. Active monthly payments are required. Accounts with balances 30 days past due may be charged a service fee of 12% per year, compounded monthly.
• Any account where no payment has been received for sixty days may be sent to a third-party collection agency. Any additional collection fees will be the responsibility of the patient. NSF checks or rejected credit card payments will be charged a $35 service fee per occurrence.
• We do offer a ‘time of service’ discount when services are paid in full at the time of the visit.
• We offer financing options for patients that opt for our correctional packages.
• Your insurance company determines benefits when they receive our billings. Any statements made by our staff regarding your coverage in no way guarantees that your care here will be covered by your insurance company, and you will be responsible for your account, regardless of insurance.
