Most major insurance companies are accepted. Before scheduling an appointment for well care, please contact your insurance company to find out your benefits for well care and immunization coverage. As there are thousands of insurance carriers each with multiple benefit plans, it is impossible for our business staff to know each patient’s particular benefit plan. Unfortunately, there are still many carriers that do not cover well visits. Remember, it is your insurance carrier and your responsibility to know and stay within the parameters of your benefits.
Payment of the total charges is the guarantor’s responsibility if insurance does not pay in a timely manner. We will seek financial responsibility from the parent or legal guardian who brings the child in for treatment. If there is a financial agreement as in the case of divorce, we request that the parent bringing in the child pay any applicable co-payments or coinsurance directly and seek reimbursement from the other party involved. It will be your responsibility to contact your insurance company for nonpayment of services rendered. Statements will be generated on a monthly basis for any unpaid balance. We will be happy to establish a mutually acceptable payment arrangement for hardship cases. Balances over 90 days may be referred to an outside collection agency for collection if no payment arrangement has been established.
