The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) is a federal program that requires that all medical records and other individually identifiable health information used or disclosed by us in any form, whether electronically, on paper, or orally, are kept properly confidential. This Act gives you, the patient, significant new rights to understand and control how your health information is used. “HIPAA” provides penalties for covered entities that misuse personal health information.

An example of this would be sending a bill for your visit to your insurance company for payment. • Health care operations include the business aspects of running our practice, such as conducting quality assessment and improvement activities, auditing functions, cost-management analysis, and customer service. An example would be an internal quality assessment review. We may also create and distribute de-identified health information by removing all references to individually identifiable information.

    Financial Policy

    ​Thank you for choosing us as your healthcare provider. We are committed to providing you with the best possible medical care. Your clear understanding of our practice financial policy is important to our professional relationship. We make every effort to keep our fees reasonable while at the same time covering the cost of the services we provide. Payment of your bill is considered part of your overall treatment. In order to keep healthcare costs to an absolute minimum, we have adopted the following policies. Fees and Payments Fees are standard and based on the complexity of your visit. Payment in full is required at the time of your visit and can be made with cash, personal check, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. Insurance co-payments are due at the time of service. We will not bill your secondary insurance for co-payments. If you are unable to pay your co-payment at your visit, your appointment may need to be rescheduled. If it is necessary that you be seen, a $25.00 Copay Service charge will be added to your account. While filing insurance claims is a courtesy that we extend to our patients, all charges are your responsibility from the date services are rendered. Your insurance is a contract between you, your employer and the insurance company, we are not party to that contract. In order for us to file a claim, you must present a CURRENT copy of your insurance at each visit and communicate any changes in your personal information. Not all services are a covered benefit in all policies, so it is very important that you understand the provisions of your individual policy. Insurance companies select certain services that they will not cover, therefore we can’t guarantee payment of all claims by your insurance company. Some common examples of non-covered services are contraception and infertility. Additionally, some plans do not cover preventative or obstetrical services. Reduction or rejection of your claim does not relieve you of your financial responsibility. PLEASE NOTE: Each visit is documented in your medical record and a diagnosis is made by the provider. Diagnoses are made based on medical information, not based on coverage by Insurance Companies. To request a diagnosis change solely for the purpose of securing reimbursement from an insurance carrier is inappropriate and is considered insurance fraud.
    Required at Check-In
    • Verify Personal Contact Information
    • Present Current Copy of Insurance Card and Present Current Picture ID
    • Payment of any Outstanding Balance and Payment of Today’s Visit

    We will verify your coverage at each visit. If we are unable to do so, you will be considered self pay and will be responsible for your visit. Self-Pay In order to address the needs of our patients without insurance and patients with coverage limitations, we offer a 30% prompt payment discount. For gynecologic services, this 30% discount is available to patients paying upfront, prior to their visit. For obstetrics patients, this discount is available to patients paying their entire global fee prior to 36 weeks.  This discount acknowledges the lower cost involved in billing and collections when a claim does not need to be submitted to a third party payer. 

    Annual Exams and Mammography Please verify that your insurance will cover these preventative services before making your appointment. Depending on your age and the plan, these services may not be covered. Also, some insurance companies are very strict in enforcing time limits between visits and may not cover your visit if you are even one day early.

    Family Medical Leave Act and Disability Paperwork If your employer requires Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or Disability paperwork to be completed by your provider, we offer two options: • A form created by our practice that meets the needs of both employer and patient. Patients may request this form to be filled out at any time to clarify their current condition. The turnaround time for this form is 5 business days and there is no charge for this. • Forms directly from your employer requiring additional information take considerable time for the staff to complete. We are happy to complete these forms for you; however there is a 10 business day turnaround. 

    Miscellaneous Charges Returned Check Charge : Late accounts will be charged a fee: 25$ at 30 days, 50$ at 60 days, 100$ at 90 days, and 18% interest on the account after 120 days, accruing monthly. Non Sufficient Funds (NSF) checks are subject to a $25.00 fee (in addition to fees from your bank). Collections Charge: Accounts that are not paid within 120 days from due date may be sent to an External Collection agency and reported to the Credit Bureau. In addition to your outstanding balance, a 33% surcharge may be added to cover our costs. In addition, you may be removed from the practice.

    Lab Charges: Depending on your insurance, you may get a separate bill from the lab facility that performs your lab work. These charges should be discussed directly with the Lab facility. Please understand that we do not have knowledge of what labs your insurance will and will not cover or at what cost. It is your responsibility to discover this information and we are not responsible for any lab costs associated with tests we order. We order the tests we deem appropriate to provide care and you may choose whether or not to have them performed.

    Refunds: Patient Refunds are processed on the last Friday of the month. Any account that has outstanding claims will not be eligible for a refund.

    I certify that I have read and understand this financial policy and that I have had the opportunity to ask questions and all questions have been answered.
