The patient is responsible for knowing their insurance benefit coverage and whether a referral is needed for specialist visits. We will gladly file your insurance claim on your behalf. We allow 30 days from the date a claim is filed for the insurance company to pay. If the insurance carrier does NOT pay within this time, you will be responsible for the entire balance. We will not become involved in disputes between you and your insurance company regarding coverage and/or policy benefits, deductibles, non- covered services, co- insurance, coordination of benefits, pre- existing conditions or reasonable and customary charges, other than to supply factual information when necessary. You are responsible for the timely payment of your account by either yourself or your insurance company. It is your responsibility to confirm with your insurance company that the physician is currently under contract with your plan. If your plan requires that you have a referral prior to seeing a specialist, please contact your primary care physician so that you will have the referral in hand at the time of your appointment. We accept faxed referrals (F: ).
