Question What types of insurance do you accept? Answer We participate in the Medicare program. If you are a Medicare patient, we will submit your claim to your Medicare carrier and accept their payment as payment in full. You will only be responsible for the deductible and coinsurance.
For patients with our insurance carriers, our receptionist will ask you to complete a patient registration form and sign an authorization which will allow us to release information to your insurance company for reimbursement. Our physicians are participants with numerous managed care companies.
Although we will submit surgical charges to your insurance company, the financial responsibility for services rendered rests with the patient and/or his or her family, regardless of any insurance coverage (excluding HMO contracts). You should direct any questions or complaints regarding your coverage to your insurance carrier. Our fees have no relationship to how good a policy you or your employer want to purchase, or to what an insurance company may tell you is or is not a proper fee.
