PATIENT FINANCIAL AGREEMENT Understanding our financial policies is an important part of your overall experience with our office and staff. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about this financial agreement. Please read these policies carefully and sign below, indicating that you have read and understand the policies detailed within. INSURANCE PARTICIPATION We are in network with many insurances, however it is your responsibility to know whether our services are covered on your policy. Our office does not accept any of the TennCare plans, or Health Springs. If you have out of network coverage on your policy, we can see you, but you will be responsible for any deductible from that coverage. OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU 1. To file claims to your insurance company on your behalf, and make appropriate appeals when claims are denied initially. 2. To notify you if there is a problem with any of the claims. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO OUR OFFICE 1. To provide accurate and up-to-date insurance information to our office. Failure to provide us with this information may lead to denial of claims and cause you to be personally responsible for charges incurred. 2. To be responsible for any out-of-pocket expenses that are owed as dictated by your insurance coverage. Depending on your insurance coverage the may include any of the following types of payments: a. Co-Payment : a payment that may be required at the time of an office visit as a mechanism by which you share the cost of that visit with your insurance carrier. This is usually a flat fee paid per visit, regardless of the total amount of charges incurred. b. Co-Insurance : a payment that shares some of the overall cost of your care with your insurance carrier. This is usually determined after the charges have been processed by the insurance carrier and an Explanation of Benefits or E.O.B. has been issued. A plan will have a set ratio, for example 70/30, where the insurance carrier pays 70% of the allowed amount and you are responsible for 30%. c. Deductibles : these are amounts that are paid out by the patient before any payments are made by the insurance carrier. A $500 deductible means that the patient is responsible for paying the first $500 of the charges incurred. Once the deductible is met then your insurance carrier will begin covering their portion of the allowed charges. Deductibles can be per individual or per family. Deductibles usually reset every January 1 st. NO SHOW FEES: We require a 24-hour notice of cancellation. However, emergencies do happen. If we do not hear from you by 7AM on the day of appointment, you will be charged a $30.00 fee, new patients $60.00. Your insurance company is not billed for this, you are responsible for this charge. I have read and agree to the policies listed above. I hereby authorize payment directly to. I realize that I am responsible for any uncovered charges Signature Date
