Payment Policy
The filing of insurance claims is a courtesy we extend to our patients. We are happy to assist you in billing most insurance companies. However, we must emphasize that your insurance is contract between you and your insurance company. We are not party to that contract.
Many of the services provided in this office are covered and paid by your insurance company. In cases where the service has not been paid, you will be personally responsible for the balance. If the patient is a minor, the person brings the minor to the office for treatment is responsible for payment of the bill.
Payments for services are due at the time service is rendered.
We accept cash, checks and all Visa or MasterCard. To assist you in making payments if special circumstances arise, we would be happy to arrange an automatic debt payment schedule to facilitate regular agreed upon payments.
0-30 days --- no interest
31-60 days – interest accrues
