Hilton Health Care Financial Policy
Effective 1/1/12
We value our relationship with our patients.
This financial policy has been set up to prevent
misunderstandings
so please read this carefully. Thank you.
- It is your responsibility to keep the practice updated with your most
current information (insurance, address, phone numbers, etc).
- Any questions regarding benefit issues or physician participation status
should be directed to your insurance company.
- We require prior notification if you are unable to keep your appointment.
There will be a $20 charge for all missed appointments.
- We expect any co-pay to be paid at the time of service. If payment is not
made at the time of service a $10
administrative/billing fee will be added to your account.
- There is also an administrative charge for the completion of some forms.
-
We will file a claim on your behalf to all insurers with
whom we are currently participating. If we are not participating with your
insurer, you are responsible for submitting your own claim and paying in full
at the time of service. We do not submit for Workers Compensation or any
liability claims. We will submit for motor vehicle claims.
- We do not participate with all insurers. Some insurers require you to list
a Primary Care Physician (PCP). Please make sure one of our doctors is listed
or they will not cover your visit here. A list of insurances with which we
participate is on the reverse. Please check with your insurance to verify
coverage here.
- Returned checks will incur a $20 returned check fee. In the event
of a second returned check, your privilege to pay by check on future visits
will be terminated and you will be expected to pay with cash or credit card.
- It is understood and agreed that in the event any outstanding balance has
to be referred to a collection agency or attorney for recovery, the patient
will be fully responsible for any cost, including, but not limited to
attorneys fees. A 30% fee will be charged to your account when it is sent to
the collection agency. We work very hard to help you keep this from happening.
Please keep in touch with us if there is a financial hardship.
-
We require that you sign a payment agreement if you are
unable to pay the entire balance on your account. The amount paid each month
will be determined by Hilton Health Care and must be paid in addition to any
additional charges each month
-
We are collecting some charges for the high
deductible insurances at the time of your visit. We make every effort
possible to determine what is allowed by your insurance. We realize there
could be a conflict with your HSA or FSA accounts if an overpayment is made.
Please be
aware of your deductible status!
Administrative Forms Policy
As of 02/13/2007, there will be a charge for completion of any form(s) not
submitted at the time of an office visit. Current fee is $10 for the first page
plus $5 for each additional page. This fee is due at the time the form is
dropped off.
This charge is necessary due to increasing demands on providers’ time and
increasing office expenses.
