| We are committed to providing
the best treatment to our patients. Our prices are representative
of the usual and customary charges for our area. Please
let us know if you have any questions or concerns. For
your convenience we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover,
personal checks and cash.
Cost Estimates: Although our fees are
customary for our area, our assistants may only be able
to give you a range of fees over the phone. A consultation
and diagnosis by the provider may be necessary to determine
which procedure is best for you and how much it will cost.
Insurance: Please refer to the list
of insurance companies that we participate with.
If you are not insured with one of these companies, we
will gladly file your claim; however, you are responsible
for payment in full at the time of service. If we do
participate with your plan, but you do not have a current
insurance card at your visit, payment will be required
until we can verify your eligibility. Please contact
your insurance company if you have any questions regarding
your coverage.
Co-payments, deductible, and co-insurance amounts: All
co-payments and deductibles must be paid at the time of
service. Some plans require only your co-payment amount
for office visits, but have a deductible or co-insurance
percentage that applies to any procedures performed in
the office. Only your insurance plan can verify that information
for you.
Non-covered or cosmetic services: Some
services that we provide (i.e., acne surgery, cyst injections,
alopecia therapy, keloid scar treatments) may be considered
not medically necessary by your insurance carrier. You
will be responsible for payment in full if your plan considers
your visit as a non-covered service.
The following cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance and must be
paid at the time of service:
Botox®
Collagen dermal fillers, Restylane®, Sculptra™
Sclerotherapy
Cosmetic consultations
Laser hair removal
Chemical peels
Proof of insurance: All patients must
complete our patient information form before seeing the
provider. We will also obtain a copy of your driver’s
license and current valid insurance card. If you fail to
provide us with the correct insurance information or any
insurance changes when they occur, you will be responsible
for the charges denied by the insurance plan.
Nonpayment: In the event an account
balance that has been determined to be your responsibility
remains unpaid, a collection agency will be given permission
to pursue recovery of the unpaid amount and any charges
relating to the collection of that owed amount. The office
will not be available to you for any non-emergency care
until the amount due has been paid. Personal checks returned
from the bank for insufficient funds will be collected
in the above manner as well as charged a fee for the returned
check.
Missed Appointments: Our office policy
is to charge for missed appointments not canceled within
a reasonable amount of time. Please refer to Appointment
Policies.
