Payment is requested at the end of each office visit. We accept personal checks, VISA, MasterCard, cash, and most insurance plans. It is extremely important that you bring your insurance cards to your appointment so that we may obtain the necessary and correct information to file all primary and secondary claims for you.

It is difficult to know all the specifics about each insurance plan. It is your responsibility to obtain referrals and determine if we are a provider within your plan. We also accept Medicare and will bill your secondary insurance when needed. However, complete payment is ultimately
your responsibility.

HMO’s / PPO’s

It is necessary for you to check with your HMO and/or PPO for any special requirements. If you have an HMO and/or PPO that requires a referral from your Primary Care Physician (PCP), we ask that you call your PCP to verify that one has been done. We ask that you bring a copy of the referral to your appointment. If you arrive without this information, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment until a referral has been completed. We cannot wait until you are here for your appointment to verify that a referral has been performed.

MEDICARE

We are participating physicians with Medicare and accept assignment. We will bill your secondary insurance when needed.

MEDICAID

We are participating physicians with Medicaid. You must present your current medical card to the medical secretary at each visit to our office. Otherwise, you will be rescheduled.

BWC

If your services are to be billed to The Bureau of Workers Compensation, you must provide
us with

• the appropriate active claim number
• allowed condition and code
• date of injury

If you have a self-insured claim, we will need this information for them also. Please reschedule your appointment until after we have received it.
