FINANCIAL POLICY Sentara Dominion Health Medical Associates It is the policy of SDHMA to have a financial policy that clearly outlines patient and practice financial responsibilities. We are committed to providing our patients with the best possible medical care in a comfortable, personal and cost effective manner. Payment is expected at the time of service. Payments made to SDHMA practices may be made by cash, check, or credit. Patients seen at the practice for their first visit are required to pay their responsible balance in full. All co-insurance and deductible amounts are due at the time of service. We do our best to include all charges at the time of service. Occasionally, charges may be added or modified after your visit. Insurance Billing Insurance claims are filed as a courtesy to our patients. You are expected to pay your co-insurance and the balance for any non-covered services at the time of service. We expect payment in full within 60 days for services billed to insurance. It is your responsibility to pay any balance older than 60 days and to follow up with your insurance company for reimbursement. If we receive a payment from your insurance company after your balance has been paid, we will issue you a refund. It is your responsibility to contact your insurance company if a claim is denied, paid at a lower rate than you expected or if it has not been paid within 60 days. If we have made an error, we will gladly resubmit a corrected claim. Third Party Litigation Our office will not become involved in disputes arising from Third Party Claims (i.e., automobile accidents, liability claims, Worker s Compensation) with the exception of Medicare or Medicaid. Credit Patients who are financially able are expected to pay for medical services. Special consideration will be made to patients who are financially unable to pay for medical services. Budget and payment plans are available for accounts based on individual needs. Financial assistance is available for qualified patients. If you feel that you may qualify for assistance, please notify the front office staff. Adequate information will be obtained on each new patient so that the account can be processed properly. Details of when and how the fees for services are to be paid will be on an individual basis. Itemized bills are available per patient/guarantor request After carrying out all our policies on granting credit, we will take the necessary steps within the realm of ethical medical public relations to seek payment from those who are able to pay. We do this in fairness to our patients who pay their accounts.
Collection Accounts Accounts with balances over 90 days will be turned over to a collection agency unless you are making timely payments on an approved payment plan. A $70 deposit is required for each office visit for any SDHMA collection accounts. The $70 deposit also applies to collection accounts that have been processed for any legal proceedings until satisfied. Bankruptcy Accounts A $70 deposit is also required for all Bankruptcy accounts, in order to re-establish credit within SDHMA facilities. This will be required for as long as deemed necessary per SDHG discretion, to collect all deductibles and copays to be determined when insurance is verified during the check in process. Credit Balances/Refunds Patient refunds will not be processed until all active or past due accounts are paid in full. Refunds less than $15.00 will not be refunded unless specifically requested by the patient/guarantor or insurance company. FINANCIAL AGREEMENT NOTICE I have read the policies above and understand them. I agree to promptly pay all fees and charges for treatments provided to me and/or my family. All insurance payments for services rendered are assigned to this office. I understand that it is my responsibility to contact my insurance company should a claim be denied or not paid in full.
