Payment Policy
We are committed to providing the best treatment to our patients. Our prices are representative of the usual and customary charges for our area. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, personal checks and cash.
Cost estimates: Although our fees are customary for our area, our assistants may only be able to give you a range of fees over the phone. A consultation & diagnosis by the provider may be necessary to determine which procedure is best for you and how much it will cost.
Insurance: Please refer to the list of insurance companies that we participate with. If you are not insured with one of these companies, we will gladly file your claim; however, you are responsible for payment in full at the time of service. If we do participate with your plan, but you do not have a current insurance card at your visit, payment will be required until we can verify your eligibility. Please contact your insurance company if you have any questions regarding your coverage.
Co-payments, deductible, and co-insurance amounts: All co-payments and deductibles must be paid at the time of service. Some plans require only your co-payment amount for office visits, but have a deductible or co-insurance percentage that applies to any procedures performed in the office. Only your insurance plan can verify that information for you.
Non-covered or cosmetic services: Some services that we provide (i.e., cyst injections, alopecia therapy, keloid scar treatments) may be considered not medically necessary by your insurance carrier. You will be responsible for payment in full if your plan considers your visit as a non-covered service.
Cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance and must be paid at the time of service. These procedures include:
- Wrinkle-relaxing injectables & dermal fillers including:
(Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Sculptra, Radiesse, Voluma, Belotero) - Sclerotherapy
- All Laser Therapy Treatments including Consultations
- VISIA Cosmetic Consultations
- Chemical Peels
- SilkPeel Microdermabrasions
- Micro-Needling Treatments
- Acne Treatments
- CoolSculpting Treatments
Proof of insurance: All patients must complete our patient registration form before seeing a provider. We will also obtain a photo I.D. and current valid insurance card. If you fail to provide us with the correct insurance information or any insurance changes when they occur, you will be responsible for the charges denied by the insurance plan.
Nonpayment: In the event an account balance that has been determined to be your responsibility remains unpaid, a collection agency will be given permission to pursue recovery of the unpaid amount and any charges relating to the collection of that owed amount. The office will not be available to you for any non-emergency care until the amount due has been paid. Personal checks returned from the bank for insufficient funds will be collected in the above manner and a fee will be charged for the returned check.
Missed appointments: Our office policy is to charge for missed appointments not canceled within a reasonable amount of time. Please refer to Appointment Policy.
