Insurance
carriers are rarely consistent in terms of reimbursement.
They pay a portion of what they approve as being "usual
and customary" for office visits, surgical procedures,
treatments, and drugs. What the company approves or calls
"usual and customary" is determined at its sole
discretion. Therefore, all of your charges may not always
be approved.
To
participate with an insurance company, means that we will
accept what they determine as usual and customary as payment
in full. You are still responsible for any co-pay, deductible
and non approved services such as cosmetic.
We will
file all Non Par and secondary insurances for your convenience.
However, payment of services are required the day services
are provided. Payment received from your insurance company
will be reimbursed to you.
