Financial Policy
Thank you for choosing Center for Spine Interventions as your healthcare provider. We are committed to providing the best medical care possible. Please understand that payment of your bill is considered a part of your treatment. The following statement explains our Financial Policy which we ask you to read, sign and return to us prior to your treatment.
Regarding Insurance
We participate on most insurance plans. Read and understand your insurance policy. Your policy is a contract between you and the insurance carrier. Read it, understand it and ask questions. DO NOT ASSUME YOUR POLICY AUTOMATICALLY COVERS EVERYTHING. Even different policies form the same insurance company can have different requirements. It is YOUR responsibility to know what your policy covers and what it does not. Always carry your insurance card with you. You will need it for all office visits and may need it in case of an emergency. Some insurance carriers require we verify your coverage for each office visit. Without this information, we may have to reschedule your appointment, or you may have to pay at time of service. Some carriers require a referral or prior authorization from your primary care provider. It is YOUR responsibility to obtain this referral. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A REFERRAL OR PRIOR AUTHORIZATION, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT OR WE WILL RESCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT.
Usual and Customary Rates
We are committed to providing the best treatment for our patients and we charge what we believe to be reasonable and customary fees for our region and specialty. If your insurance company uses a different fee schedule, you will be responsible for any balance remaining.
Past Due Accounts
Overdue accounts will be referred to a collection agency. Legal fees that we pay to secure past due balances will be added to your account.
Returned Checks
For checks returned to us for non-sufficient funds by your bank, we will charge a $39.00 fee.
Insurance Denials
In the event that any date of service is denied by the insurance carrier for ineligibility or no referral, the remaining balance will be turned over to patient responsibility.
Insurance Non-payment
If a claim is forty-five (45) days old and there has been no response from the insurance carrier, the balance due will be turned over to patient responsibility for payment.
