STEWART SHOFNER MD PC FINANCIAL POLICY
We are doing everything possible to keep down the cost of medical care. The following is a summary of our payment policy. Please read this policy carefully, initial each paragraph, and sign at the bottom.
ALL PAYMENT IS EXPECTED AT THE TIME OF SERVICE
________ Payment is required at the time services are rendered unless other arrangements have been made in advance. This includes applicable coinsurance and copayments for participating insurance companies. We accept cash, personal checks (in-state only), VISA, and MasterCard. There is a service charge for returned checks. We would be pleased to process your application for Care Credit (it is a very quick, simple process). We do not offer in house financing. Patients with an outstanding balance 60 days or more overdue must make arrangements for payment prior to scheduling appointments. We realize that financial difficulty is a reality and we will work with you to make sure you receive continued medically necessary treatment. INSURANCE
________ We bill participating insurance companies as a courtesy to you. You are expected to pay your deductible and copayments at the time of service. If we have not received payment from your insurance company within 45 days of the date of service, you may be expected to pay the balance in full. You are responsible to be sure all charges are paid whether by you or by your insurance carrier. Over the past few years, we have noticed a significant increase in the amount of our patientʼs deductibles and co pays. In order to help make our services more affordable, we offer financing of copays and deductibles through Care Credit. We would be pleased to process your application for Care Credit (it is a very quick, simply process).
________ Patient/guarantor credits in amounts less than $20.00 will be retained on account to be credited toward future balances unless a written request for refund is received. Amounts $20.00 and greater will automatically be refunded to the patient/guarantor. REQUIRED REFERALS
________ if you are enrolled in a managed care insurance plan (e.g. HMO), you must receive a referral from our office before seeing a specialist. Retroactive referrals are not guaranteed to provide insurance benefits.
MISSED APPOINTMENTS/LATE CANCELLATIONS
________ Cancellations are requested 24 hours prior to the appointment. We reserve the right to charge for missed, late, or cancelled appointments. I have read and understood the Stewart Shofner, MD PC Financial Policy. I agree to assign insurance benefits to the Stewart Shofner MD PC whenever necessary. I also agree that if it becomes necessary to forward my account to a collection agency, in addition to the amount owed, I also will be responsible for the fee charged by the collection agency for costs of collections.
