Patient Financial Responsibility Agreement
Page 6 of 9
We are committed to providing you with the best possible medical care. It is important that we have a good
understanding with our patients regarding financial responsibility.
Patient Responsibilities
- Bring your identification and your insurance card to each visit.
- Notify our office of any changes to your insurance. If you do not provide us with up to date Insurance
information then you will be responsible for any unpaid balance or denied coverage for the time of service.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO PROVIDE THE CORRECT INSURANCE INFORMATION AND OR ANY CHANGES THAT MAY AFFECT
YOUR COVERAGE.
- Know your insurance company benefits and your coverage.
- It is your responsibility to check with your insurance company on any testing you will have done or ordered
on your behalf to see what your responsibility will be. We will not know until the claim is filed with the Insurance
company on what your responsibility will be.
- All copays are due at the time of service. (No exceptions will be made.)
- Any balances you have such as Co-insurance, Deductables and or amounts not covered by your insurance must be paid
in full unless you contact the Billing department regarding payment arrangements, again this does not apply to Copays
which must be paid prior to visit.
Please understand that the financial responsibilities for medical services rest between you and your
Health Insurance. We are happy to be of service by filing your medical insurance for you, however we are not
responsible for any limitations in coverage that may be included in your plan. It is your responsibility as a Patient
to pay any denied or uncovered portion in full.
I, ,
have read the above and agree to my responsibility.
