Billing Procedures
To Our Valued Customers
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome
you to our facility and to let you know we are committed
to providing you with the best possible care. So there
is no misunderstanding as to what our Financial Policy
is, please take time to read this information. We will
gladly discuss your proposed treatment and answer any
questions.
Financial Policy and Disclosure
If you have insurance we will file it for you
for you as a courtesy provided we have correct insurance
information. You must realize, however, that your insurance
is a contract between you and your insurance company.
Payment to us is your responsibility.
If at the end of thirty
working days, your insurance hasn't remitted payment
to us, payment from you will be due in full.
Please keep in mind that not all services are covered
benefits in all contracts. Some insurances arbitrarily
select certain services they will not cover. Screening
procedures recommended because of family history of
colon or stomach cancer or personal history of polyps
may not be covered if you have normal results, and you
may be responsible for the entire bill for the services
rendered.
Should financial problems
affect timely payment of your account, we encourage
you to contact us promptly for assistance in the management
of your account.
If you do not have insurance,
full payment for services are due at the time services
are rendered. To assist you, we accept
cash, checks and most credit cards.
