In order to accomplish this, we need your assistance in reading and understanding financial responsibility and our payment policy. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BILL It is the expectation that all patients/guarantors receiving services are financially responsible for the timely payment of all charges incurred. While we will file verified insurance for payment of the bill(s) as a courtesy to the patient, the patient/guarantor is ultimately responsible for payment and agrees to pay the account(s) in accordance with the regular rates and terms of the clinic in effect at the present time. POINT OF SERVICE COLLECTIONS Payment for service is due at the time the service is rendered and non-emergency services may be deferred until the necessary payment arrangements have been accomplished.

ACCEPTANCE OF INSURANCE The clinic will accept Assignment of Benefits on verified insurance policies and submit a bill to the carrier on the patient s behalf.

It should be understood that by accepting the services(s), the patient is responsible for payment regardless of the fact that insurance covers the service or not.
