Please understand that payment of your bill is considered a part of your treatment. The following is a statement of our Financial Policy,

which we require you read and sign prior to any treatment. All patients must complete our Information and Insurance Form before

seeing the doctor. Full payment or copayment (if applicable) is due at the time of service. We accept cash, check, Visa, MasterCard,

Discover or American Express.

Regarding Insurance We cannot bill your insurance company unless you give us your insurance information. If we are nonparticipating with your insurance,

and they have not paid the balance within 90 days, the balance will be transferred to you. Please be aware that some, and perhaps all,

of the services provided may be non-covered services and/or not considered reasonable and necessary under the Medicare Program

and/or other medical insurance. These charges will be your responsibility. Our office makes every effort to obtain referral authorizations

from the Primary Care offices for patients on HMOs. Should we not be able to obtain a referral, charges will be your responsibility.

Out of Network Billing The physicians may not be participating physicians with your insurance plan, and if not, benefits may be reduced as such. You will be

responsible for any unpaid charges and/or balances. Our practice is committed to providing the best treatment for our patients and we

charge what is usual and customary for our area. You are responsible for payment regardless of any insurance company’s (excluding

Medicare) arbitrary determination of usual and customary rates.

Missed Appointments Unless canceled at least 24 hours in advance, our policy is to charge for missed office and oximetry appointments at the rate of $25.00

and a separate charge for sleep testing at the rate of $200.00. Please help us serve you better by keeping scheduled appointments.


Research Consent I give permission for clinical and physiologic data from my medical records to be used for educational and research purposes. I

understand that my identity and contact information (name, SS#, birth date, address, etc.) will never be attached to or processed with

such data.
