INSURED PATIENTS: If you have insurance, you must bring your insurance card with you to each appointment. You are responsible for reviewing your insurance company's guidelines for fees, deductible amounts and copays, especially for specialists. If you have a deductible, high capay, or percentage copay, we will assist you by :filingclaims in a timely fashion. Once the claim is processed, you may have a balance due for services rendered and you are responsible for paying this amount. If you fail to provide us with correct insurance information in time to meet your insurance company's filing deadline, you will be responsible for the entire balance of the bill COPAYMENTS: Your insurance company requires that all copayments for services and procedures must be made at the time of the appointment. Failure to render the copay will result in a $20.00 administrative fee. Late fees will accrue on overdue bills, and after we make a concerted effort to collect payment, we shall refer the account to a collection agency. Expenses incurred for collection will be your responsibility. If you have no health insurance, we expect payment at the time service is rendered. However, we recognize extenuating circumstances and may accept partial payment and a payment plan to meet this obligation. All balances are due within 90 days. CANCELLATIONS: A fee of $50 will be charged for missed appointments unless you notify us of a cancellation at least 24 hours in advance. Repeated missed or cancelled appointments will result in discharge from the practice. If you have an outstanding balance and have not made arrangements to pay your bill, no new appointments will be scheduled. Patient's Signature. Date. _
