Welcome
Welcome to our practice. We appreciate the opportunity to serve your health care needs. The following information is intended to provide a brief overview of our practice’s policies and procedures, from scheduling your appointment to billing. You may also contact our office staff by phone during regular business hours and we will be happy to answer your questions.

Financial Responsibilities
The financial policy set forth is to expect payment for your services at the time your services are rendered. Co-payments and balance dues are expected to be paid at the time of service. We accept cash, checks and major credit cards. As a courtesy to you, we will complete your insurance claim for you. Insurance claims for obstetrical care are filled after your delivery and include your initial visit. Most major insurances, Medicaid and Medicare are accepted. We will provide insurance claim filing for the insurance plans that we participate in. If there is a balance due after payment is rendered by the insurance company, we will expect your prompt payment of that balance.

Patient's Responsibilities
It is the patient’s responsibility to provide us with current insurance plan information prior to services rendered in order for accurate billing of services to be filed. As a health care provider, our relationship is with our patients and as a team; we will continuously follow up on outstanding claims. At times, we may require your intervention to assist us and we appreciate your assistance to us in this regard.

We accept Master Card, VISA, Discover, American Express, checks and cash as payment for services rendered. Some DCOL providers accept workers’ compensation insurance, when properly verified in advance of the appointment. Please inquire prior to your appointment if the provider you are seeing accepts workers compensation. If your workers’ compensation claim is later found to be non-compensable and is finally adjudicated by the Texas Department of Insurance - Workers’ Compensation Division, you will be responsible for your bill in full. If your employer is self-insured and fails to pay your workers’ compensation bill in full, you will be held responsible for the balance of the bill. For work-related injuries, please be advised that we may be required to release information regarding your injury to your employer. We file motor vehicle and liability insurance claims as a courtesy. Payment not received within 90 days from your third party liability insurance carrier will become the patient’s responsibility and is subject to all standard collection policies if not paid within the requested timeframe.

We strive to offer our patients quality medical care and assist the patient to receive maximum benefit from their insurance plan.

Patient's Responsibilities
We accept almost all major insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid. Please bring your insurance card with you so that we can make a copy for your medical record. If you have a change in insurance, address or phone number, be sure to notify the receptionist so that the change can be entered into our system.

We will bill all insurance carriers for services rendered, but we ask that all co-payments and applied deductibles be paid at the time of service. Payment is required at the time service is rendered for all private-pay patients unless otherwise arranged with the office administrator. If there is a balance due after payment is rendered by your insurance company, we will expect your prompt payment of that balance.

We accept all major credit cards for payment, such as American Express, Discover, Visa and Mastercard. All balances are expected to be paid at the time of service.
