We are not contracted with most insurance companies. Your insurance coverage is a contract between you and your insurance company. If we have the necessary information, we will be glad to assist you in the submission of your claim, but payment of your account is ultimately your responsibility. Any fees left unpaid by your insurance are payable by you in full upon receipt of negotiating a disputed claim. You are responsible for payment of the balance of your account regardless of payment from insurance after 60 days from your initial date of treatment. Insurance coverage is not a guarantee of payment! Insurance plans vary widely in their policy provisions and benefit amounts; therefore, the amount quoted as your co-payment should not be relied upon to be your total balance due. We can only estimate your coverage and co-payment, so your understanding of your policy is your best assurance that your claim will be properly administered.
I authorize my insurance company to release benefits to my doctor that would otherwise be paid to me. I also authorize the doctor to release any information required for the administration of my claims.
I have read and I understand the terms of payment as outlined above. I agree that in the event I default and not make payment in accordance with the terms indicated above, my account will be transferred to a collection agency and that I will be responsible for the costs of collection including reasonable attorney’s fees in an amount that can be 33% of the principal amount sued upon. I understand that there is a minimum $30 service charge for any NSF check returns and that future payments will be cash only.
The above information is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and is only for use in my treatment, billing, and processing of insurance for benefits for which I am entitled. I will not hold Dr. Cooper, Dr. Teeples, Dr. Toponce, Dr. Reddinger, or any members of their staff responsible for any errors or omissions that I may have made in the completion of this form.
To the best of my knowledge, all of the preceding answers are true and correct. If I ever have any change in my health, abnormal laboratory tests, or if my medicines change, I will inform the doctor at the next appointment without fail. I have had a chance to ask questions. I understand x-rays and local anesthetics may be required for treatment. I also state I read and write in English, or this information has been translated to me in my primary language.
