Patient Financial Agreement

Self-pay patients - Payment in full is due at the time of service.

Patients with Insurance - We will file your insurance claim for you. However, in order to work with your insurance company, we must have complete and current information as well as a copy of your insurance card and your signature on file.

Denied Claims - You will be responsible for any charges that are denied by your insurance company which result from your failure to provide our office with complete and current information in a timely manner. It is your responsibility to inform us of any changes in insurance benefits.

Referrals - If your insurance requires that you obtain a referral from your Primary Care Physician, it is your responsibility to ensure that our office receives the referral prior to your visit. If a referral is not in place, you will be responsible to pay in full at the time of service. If the doctor schedules a test for you, please check with your insurance to see if a prior-authorization is required (as this must be completed before testing is performed). Although we do our best to check for you, it is ultimately the responsibility of the patient.

Durable Medical Equipment - Our office will assist in determining coverage for Durable Medical Equipment (braces, splints, boots, walkers, and/or orthotics as needed). Active Foot and Ankle makes every effort to verify active coverage, but we are not always able to check benefits on all patients, due to regulations of various insurance companies and contract agencies. All processes and procedures must be listed and billed according to HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) guidelines by Active Foot and Ankle for accuracy and liability purposes. This means any and all procedures, treatments and care will be billed to you and your insurance. This does not guarantee payment by your insurance company. Any item not covered by insurance is deemed “patient responsibility.”

Insurance benefits – It is your responsibility to know your insurance benefits. Please contact your insurance company with any questions that you may have regarding coverage of podiatric services.

Copayments, Co-Insurances and DeductiblesAll patient balances are due at the time of service. Patients with private insurance plans (non-Medicare/Medicaid) that include deductibles will need to pay a $100.00 deposit at the time of service. If copays are required by your plan, payment at time of service will also be due. Active Foot and Ankle reserves the right to refuse treatment if required payments are not made at the time of service. For your convenience, all major credit cards are accepted.

Non-Covered Charges - Please understand there may be some charges for our services which your insurance company considers non-covered and may be excluded from your policy. Accordingly, you will be responsible for these charges.

Medicare - We are a participating Medicare provider. We will bill Medicare, as well as any secondary insurance that you may have. As per any insurance carrier, this does not mean that all services will be covered. Additionally, if you do not have a secondary insurance, you will be responsible for any copayments (20% of the Medicare allowed amount), as well as any unmet annual deductibles. Please realize that Medicare may allow a service, but your secondary may not, so you will be responsible for that portion.

Returned checks – Any returned check is subject up to a $45.00 bank fee.

Past due accounts – We will send a statement to the mailing address you provide notifying you of any outstanding balances. If you do not respond to the first statement within 30 days of receipt and additional statements are mailed, a $10 re-billing fee will be added each month. If you are not able to pay your balance in full, you must contact out billing office to discuss a possible payment plan. If you then fail to make payments, your account may be referred to a professional collection agency and/or attorney and will be subject to a 35% fee.

I HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THE ABOVE FINANCIAL POLICY
