When should I expect my first bill?
We will bill you any balance due after your insurance company has paid your claim. There may be a delay if your insurance company has paid us incorrectly and we have re-submitted your claim for a corrected payment and allowance determination.
Do you charge interest?
No
Are we able to set up a payment plan?
If you would like to set up a payment plan, please contact our office immediately at 817-877-4777 and ask for our collections department.
What is your credit and payment policy?
Full payment is due within 60 days of your surgery. Elective and cosmetic surgery procedures must be paid in full 5 days before your surgery.
We strongly encourage you to personally contact your insurance company about your upcoming surgery. It is mandatory that YOU, as the insurance subscriber, confirm that all prior authorization information necessary to your specific policy is completed before your surgery date. You may be penalized by your insurance company if you don’t follow your policy guidelines. You must understand what your benefits cover and how this may affect you financially.
We will submit insurance claims for you. We may request that your deductible and copay amounts are paid on or before your date of surgery. You will receive a notice from us regarding the amount to pay. Self pay accounts are asked to pay the total estimated procedure on or before the date of surgery and to also sign a financial agreement keeping in mind that our balances are due within 60 days.
If you anticipate difficulty in paying your bill within the 60-day period please let us know immediately.
