Thomas Shires III, M.D. Ernest E. Beecherl, M.D. Robert M. Hagood, M.D. James M. Sanders, M.D. Attention: It is the responsibility of the patient to verify with their insurance company that our physicians are participating providers with their particular insurance plan. The provider is not always current and it is impossible for our office to verify every patient s insurance. This will keep the patient from possibly owing a large out of pocket expense. Referrals: Patients whose insurance requires a referral are responsible to contact their primary care physician and have them initiate it with your insurance provider. If the patient requires a referral and we have not received it by the time of your visit, the patient will be responsible for the total charge of the visit at the time of service.
