Financial Policy Communication

It is the policy of this office to clearly communicate with each patient about their financial responsibility,

regardless of third party assistance. We implement this process from the first contact a patient makes

with our office and throughout the course of our relationship with the patients. It is our intention to have

the patient make informed decisions about their healthcare and related costs and this is accomplished

with periodic financial conversations. The aim is to keep the lines of communication open so that every

patient is aware of who can assist them with any question of a financial nature. This is especially

important for those patients with third party assistance, of any type, and our office’s goal is to ensure that

the financial relationship with our office never interferes with the treatment relationship.

Billing and Collections of Past Due Accounts

• It is the policy of this office to keep all accounts in good standing at all times. Because there will be times

when accounts are unavoidably going to have a balance, we utilize the following policies to collect on all

monies due to this office.

• If a patient incurs an unpaid balance for any reason, such as adjustment due to insurance EOBs or

inability to pay that day, a bill for current amount due is sent immediately to the patient in order to collect

this amount. If unpaid by the next statement cycle, another statement will be sent to the patient to begin a

30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 190 day process as shown in our collection table that is attached and considered a

part of this policy.

• If at any point a patient balance falls too far in arrears according to our collection table, the patient may

be subject to a suit filed against them in small claims court or their account being turned over to a

collection agency. According to our table, all accounts will be subject to adequate attempts of in-house

collection efforts before this time.

• Our initial intake forms as well as our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices will include our financial policies

and procedures. Patients will be asked to acknowledge these policies by signature before they treat in

our office. The ability to start care is not based on the attainment of these signatures.

• It is our policy that a patient agreeing to receive care in our office constitutes a standing agreement with

that patient that they will pay their expected financial responsibility when in receipt of our products and

services.
