If you are covered by an insurance with which we are not contracted, you will be considered self-pay in our office and payment will be due at the time of service. We do not file claims to out of network insurance plans, automobile insurances, and workers compensation Retina Consultants of Houston makes every attempt to verify insurance coverage and benefits prior to your visit. If we are unable to verify coverage with your insurance carrier, you will be asked to pay for your visit in full, or reschedule your appointment until we are able to establish verification with your insurance company. Verification of coverage will be used to estimate your financial responsibility which is due at the time of service; however, this verification is not a guarantee by your health plan of coverage or payment. While we may estimate your financial responsibility, your insurance company or companies make the final determination regarding your eligibility and benefits once claims are received. Your estimated financial responsibility will include known deductibles, copays and coinsurances due for the visit. In some cases, your insurance company may not provide coverage for office procedures or services that our office provides. Either your plan does not cover the procedure or service, or the procedure or service may be considered not medical necessary, experimental, or cosmetic by your insurance health plan. It is your responsibility to know the benefits of your current healthcare coverage. It is the patient s responsibility to obtain referrals for office visits and provide a copy to our office.
