ENT Medical Center's Policies
Our physicians are committed to providing the highest quality medical care and to ensure our ability to do so, we have established the following policies. This information is provided to prevent misunderstandings concerning payment and professional services. |
| |
Insurance Card:
It is your responsibility to bring your current insurance card to every visit to ensure we have the correct filing information. Eligibility for coverage by health insurance plans is not a guarantee of payment. If it is determined that you are not eligible for coverage, you will be required to pay in full for all services when rendered. |
| |
Payment Due at Time of Service:
You are required to pay any primary insurance co-payments, deductibles, and/or coinsurance at every appointment. We accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard and Discover. |
| |
No Show Fees:
For non-cancellation of surgery or specialized testing there will be a $75.00 No Show Fee. |
| |
Self-Pay Fees:
You are required to pay in full for services rendered at the time of service. If you are unable to pay in full, you must make payment arrangements with a Patient Account staff member prior to your appointment. |
| |
Referrals:
You are responsible for obtaining any required referrals for treatment. If you do not have the necessary referral prior to your appointment, you will be responsible for payment at the time of service. |
| |
Non-participating Provider:
We will file your insurance claim as a courtesy; however, payment is due in full at the time of service. |
| |
Secondary Insurance:
We do not file claims with secondary insurance plans, but will supply you with a claim form upon request. The balance due after your primary insurance pays will be your responsibility, along with any follow-up on your secondary insurance claim status.
|
| |
Medicare:
We accept Medicare Assignment. |
| |
Medicaid:
We do not accept Medicaid patients. We will be glad to refer you to Medicaid for a list of participating physicians. |
| |
NSF Checks/Post-Dated Checks:
Checks returned for insufficient funds (NSF) will incur a $25.00 charge. If you need to post date a check, please make that arrangement with our cashier prior to the appointment. |
| |
Collection of Non Payment:
You will be responsible for any and all costs involved in collection for non-payment. This includes collection agency fees, legal and/or court costs. |
