INSURANCE: Your insurance policy is a contract
between you and your insurance company. We are
not a party to that contract. We do, however, bill
all primary insurance as a service to our patients
through Headwaters Professional Billing. Each insurance
company has its own method of determining how much
they will pay on each claim.
If you are required to pay a co-pay, for your convenience,
you will be billed by us later. Due to our multiple
office locations, we are not able to collect co-pay
at the time of service. Nevertheless, you continue
to be responsible for this amount if required by
your insurance provider.
SURGERY: If you require surgery, as part
of the preoperative process we can help make an estimate
of the professional fees associated with the
surgery. This amount is only an estimate. Actual
benefits paid may differ due to your insurance
company’s
definition of UCR (Usual, Customary & Reasonable).
UNPAID ACCOUNTS: Your bill will be turned
over to a collection agency if your bill has not
been paid within 100 days if other payment arrangements
have not been made.
CREDIT OPTIONS: We can accept major credit cards.
LIABILITY & WORKERS’ COMPENSATION: If
your situation has been designated a Worker’s
Compensation case, you must bring all pertinent
information for billing (employer, insurance
carrier, case number(s), and the date of injury,
to help us file for your claim. We work with
Qualified Rehabilitation Consultants (QRC’s)
to get you back to work as quickly and safely
as possible.
PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS: Please, don't be afraid
to talk to us about making payment arrangements if
you do not have insurance.
