| Billing Financial Policy |
|
We continually strive to contain costs, while maintaining our commitment to excellence in medical care, by ensuring that every appropriate effort is made to collect money owed to us for services provided. Patients are responsible for the charges for services received. Co-payments are expected to be paid at the time of service. To assist patients in meeting their financial obligations, we will bill a patient's health insurance carrier(s), as long as a valid ID card and/or information regarding insurance coverage are presented at the time of registration. We accept assignments of benefits and maintain an active follow-up program with all insurance carriers. We will bill patients' insurance carriers, and patients remain responsible for contacting their insurance carrier to ensure prompt payment of their accounts. Patients should contact their insurance carrier if payment has not been made within 45 days. At the patient's request, a detailed bill may be provided. We may contact patients to enlist their assistance in resolving an account Circle Family HealthCare Network firmly believes that a good doctor/patient relationship is based upon understanding and open communications. Our staff is available to make every effort available to you to clarify any misunderstanding you have concerning your balance. We hope to possibly avoid any disagreement over payment for any professional services. If you have any questions concerning our policy or need assistance please contact us immediately.
