Payment at Time of Service

We require a copy of your current insurance card at each visit. If you are unable to provide your insurance information, your visit will be considered self-pay until the necessary details are submitted. Established patients should verify their information and notify us of any changes before their appointment.

Verification of Benefits

We make every effort to verify insurance benefits prior to your visit. However, it is ultimately your responsibility to:

  • Confirm we are an in-network provider.
  • Understand your coverage and benefits.
  • Provide accurate insurance information.
  • Obtain any required referrals.

If your insurance claim is denied, you will be responsible for the services rendered.

Filing Claims

If we participate with your insurance, we will file your claim on your behalf. After your insurance processes the claim, your account will be updated according to the Explanation of Benefits (EOB), which details:

  • The total charged amount
  • Adjusted amount per your plan
  • Amount paid to the provider
  • Patient responsibility

If you have questions or disagree with your EOB, please contact your insurance carrier before reaching out to our office.

Patient Financial Responsibility

You are responsible for any co-payments, coinsurance, or deductible amounts as outlined by your insurance plan. Co-payments are due at the time of service.

For scheduled surgeries, a deposit may be required toward your anticipated out-of-pocket costs. Any remaining coinsurance, deductible, or non-covered services not collected prior to your procedure will be billed to you.

Payment for Surgery

Prior to surgery, our office may contact you to collect a surgical deposit based on your insurance information. Any additional amounts determined by your insurance carrier will be billed after your procedure.

For patients without insurance, an estimated payment is required before surgery. Our billing team will provide detailed instructions and coordinate payment arrangements.

Collection Fees

If your account is referred to a collection agency or attorney, a fee of $50 or 35% of the balance (whichever is greater) will be applied to cover collection costs.

Payment Methods

We accept:

  • Cash
  • Personal checks
  • MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express

A $35 fee applies to all returned checks.
