A payment of $400.00 is required at your first visit. Your charges that day may be more, based on diagnostic testing or any treatment. All procedures must be paid in full prior to their scheduling. You will be provided a self-pay rate.
Medicare Patients
Please bring a copy of your Medicare card, your supplement card, and your drug card along with your valid state issued photo ID. We will file with Medicare and the supplement and agree to accept Medicare's assignment for our fees. Any amount we bill you is after your insurances have paid their portion and have informed us of what to bill you. You agree to pay your portion.
If you have a replacement plan for Medicare, we will need a copy of that card. This replaces
your Medicare card. Many replacement plans have a co-pay which you agree to pay on your date of service and additional out of pocket coinsurance for procedures and diagnostic testing. You will be responsible also for this portion that your plan puts as patient responsibility.
