Insurance
To assure your billing record contains current and accurate information, we will make a copy of your health insurance card at each visit. Our doctors participate in several PPO and HMO insurance plans. We will file claims for patients in these plans. You are responsible for payment of any deductible, co-insurance, or encounter fee at the time of your visit.

If your health insurance plan requires you to choose a physician from a panel of participating physicians, you should confirm your doctor's continuing participation in your health insurance plan prior to each visit. If your insurance plan requires authorization prior to treatment, please obtain an authorization before your visit. If you participate in an HMO, your primary care physician must authorize your visit to our clinic or you will be responsible for your bill. Some services may not be deemed medically necessary by your insurance company or the Medicare program. Charges for these services are the responsibility of the patient or the responsible party. If you have another type of medical insurance you should use the "Attending Physician's Statement" (fee ticket) to file your insurance.

It is not necessary for our office to fill in the "ATTENDING PHYSICIAN'S STATEMENT" portion of your insurance form. Each patient is given a complete "Attending Physician's Statement" (fee ticket) for each visit to the office.
