Co-Payment and Billing/Payment for Medical Services Policy
Co-Payment Policy
It is our policy, and the policy of your insurance company, that all co-payments be paid at the time of medical service. We have given our receptionists instructions to collect all co-payments due at each visit. There are no exceptions to this policy. The rising costs of repeatedly billing patients for co-payments have now become an unnecessary and expensive burden for our practice. Therefore, there will be a $10 billing charge for each co-payment not paid at the time of service.
Billing/Payment For Medical Services Provided By The Asthma Center
Patients are required to pay their bills for rendered services not covered by their medical insurance. This includes deductibles, co-insurances and non-covered services. It is the patient’s responsibility to be familiar with their insurance policy coverage.
If you receive a bill from our office, please pay it promptly. If you have a question regarding the bill, please call our billing representatives for a detailed explanation. Patients that ignore or fail to meet their financial responsibilities will be considered for discharge from our practice.
