Patient Visits

Please bring to your visit:

• Current insurance card
• Co-payment
• Driver’s license or picture ID

Cancellation

Patient’s credit card information will be requested prior to their initial visit. If patient fails to cancel their appointment 24 hours prior to visit a $25.00 fee will be automatically charged to their credit card.

Insurance Filing

We participate with most medical insurance plans, including Medicare. We do not participate in any HMO plans, Unicare, or the IDPA (Illinois public aid) program. Although we may be a provider in your plan, it is the patient’s responsibility to check with their insurance company to verify benefits and confirm podiatric coverage. Claims will be filed on the patient’s behalf to their insurance of record. The patient is responsible for making sure the office has the most up to date insurance information.

Co-payments and all uncovered services are payable at the time of service. Additional amounts determined to be your responsibility by your insurance carrier will be billed to you upon receipt of your insurance carrier’s explanation of benefits, and payment in full will be expected upon receipt of your statement. As a courtesy, patients will be sent two statements, thereafter, each additional statement will be subject to a $25.00 statement charge.

Self-Pay Patients

Patients that do not have health insurance or are receiving services that are uncovered according to their insurance plan are considered, “self-pay”.

• Payment in full is expected at the time of service.
• Accepted forms of payment include cash, check, VISA, American Express, and Mastercard.

Payment Plans

Patients with extenuating circumstances may be able to establish a payment plan. Should you qualify for a payment plan, payment is expected in full,
over a six month period. The Statement charge will not apply to patients on a payment plan.
