3 REHABILITATION CENTER 'FINANCIALIINSURANCE INFORMATION We will file all claims with your primary insurance carrier. However, we will need your assistance in any problems that may arise, as you are ultimately.responsible for your bill. You will need to pay the full amount of your bill until your deductible has been met Then the percentage of charges not covered by your primary insurance carrier will be collected on a weekly basis. Any remaining balance after your primary insurance coverage has been paid is due from you upon receipt of our bill. When verifying your insurance coverage, your insurance company may tell us your percentage of covered physical therapy charges (example: 80%). However, this is often misleading. Each insurance company has their own "reasonable & customary" fee schedule that they consider being acceptable charges. Insurance companies also may have "per visif' limits or may "not cover" specific charges. When we verify insurance, we strive to obtain as much information as possible. However, insurance companies after will only disclose a certain amount of information to us "the providers." We encourage you to verify the specifies of your policy with your insurance company in order to clarify exactly what is covered, not covered, etc. Any overpayments will be refunded after all charges have been processed by your primary insurance. Please be aware that secondary insurance will be your responsibility to file and collect. Charges We are unable to predict exact charges, as it depends on the therapeutic care you received by your therapist. Your first office visit to THE SPORTS REHABILITATION CENTER AT DUNWOODY is payable by you at the time of your appointment. We will gladly provide an explanation of charges upon your request.
