As a courtesy, we will be assisting with the task of processing insurance claims. It should be understood that it is your responsibility to pay for any amounts not covered by your insurance company. We can work with you in setting up a payment schedule if necessary. Please pay your co-pay portion at the time of the visit, in order to keep our recordkeeping as accurate and current as possible. It should also be noted that the actual amount of your co-pay/co-insurance portion may change due to insurance policies or deductibles. Our billing service will mail you a monthly statement showing the amount of payments made by you and your insurance company, any adjustments, and any outstanding balance due.
If we are billing an insurance company for a worker’s compensation claim or motor vehicle accident, we request all information be brought to the first appointment, including your attorney contact information, if applicable. We require your personal medical insurance information for our files, in the event the L&I or motor vehicle accident claim is denied or exhausted; and where applicable a copy of attorney lien. Administrative recordkeeping and document replication fees to attorneys/legal counsel and payors are subject to added fees according to the Washington State Administrative Code.
If you are paying out-of-pocket, payment is due at the time of service. We accept cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express credit/debit.
In the event an account becomes overdue, interest will accrue. If payment is not received after 120 days, we may turn the account over to a collection agency, as a justifiable recourse. Any legal fees we pay to secure overdue balances will be added to the account.
