Registration benefits everyone. It will update your information in our records and assist us in filing accurate claims to your insurance company. Current information on your medical records allows your physician easy access to your medical history and clinical information. Your insurance company also relies on the registration data we provide when we file a claim on your behalf.
Please bring your current insurance card(s) and personal identification. If your visit is related to a motor vehicle accident, worker's compensation, or other special purpose, please bring copies of any pertinent forms you have for billing instruction. Please inform your Business Associate whether your spouse works so that we can determine which insurance should be primary.
In many cases, we will bill your insurance company (or companies) first and mail you a statement of any residual balances after all insurers have paid their portion of your claim. You will be required to pay for your procedure/hospital stay if you are having a cosmetic procedure or a procedure not covered under insurance before your date of service. If you do not have insurance, you may be required to make a deposit, unless you are approved for Charity Care or the Uninsured Patient Policy.
For Emergency Department services, we will be collecting the ED co-payment required by your insurance plan before your release.
