PRESCRIPTION DRUG POLICY

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

  • Class II and Class III narcotics are prescribed on a short-term basis. The patient will receive a firm cut off date in which no more medications of this type will be prescribed.
  • Patients who are prescribed anti-inflammatory medications who are not seen on a monthly basis will be evaluated every 6 (six) months.
  • Prescriptions WILL NOT be refilled when the physician does not have access to your chart. Prescriptions will not be refilled after office hours, weekends, or holidays.
  • Our office will only take refill requests for patients seen in the Campbellsville clinic. This means that you cannot call the Bardstown or Louisville to request a refill and expect it to be filled.
  • Prescription refills should be called to the office by your pharmacy and allow at least 48 (forty-eight) hours for the pharmacy to be contacted as the physicians are not in our office daily. If the patient contacts our office to initiate the refill, we will take a verbal request from the patient only (in the case of a child under the age of 18, we will take a verbal request from the parent or legal guardian)
  • Lost, stolen, or discarded prescriptions WILL NOT be refilled.
  • Prescriptions requests WILL NOT be taken if the patient has been discharged from care or returning on “as needed” basis.
  • Prescription requests WILL NOT be filled if the patient has cancelled or failed to keep an appointment since the last visit.
  • Lortab and Vicodin are given only post operatively and post acute fractures for a total of six (6) weeks only.
  • Our office does not prescribe Oxycontin.

By signing below, I certify that I have read and fully understand the contents of the prescription policy and agree to honor the terms of the policy.

FINANCIAL POLICY

POLICY STATEMENT

We would like to thank you for choosing Taylor Regional Orthopedics Group and allowing us to provide your healthcare needs. The policies listed herein have been approved by the management with the goal of providing the finest care and service to our patient at the least cost.

Care delivered by this facility will be administered regardless of race, color, creed, social status, national origin, handicap, or sex.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BILL

It is the expectation that all patient/guarantors receiving services are financially responsible for the timely payment of all charges incurred. While this office will file verified insurance for payment of the bill(s) as a courtesy to the patient, the patient/guarantor is ultimately responsible for payment and agrees to pay the account(s) in accordance with the regular rates and terms of this office in effect at the present time.

POINT OF SERVICE COLLECTIONS

Payment for service is due at the time the service is rendered. Payment will be accepted with cash or check. We will be happy to file verified insurance on your behalf.

If your insurance requires a co-payment, it will be due at the time of service. Non payment of a copay at the time of service does not release the patient from responsibility of payment.

If you do not have insurance, we require a $50.00 down payment at the time of service. The remaining balance is referred to the Physician billing department of TaylorRegionalHospital for billing purposes.

Patients unable to comply with the Point of service payment policy will be referred to the Office Manager for necessary arrangements.

PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

This office will make a reasonable effort to assist patients in meeting their financial obligations.

SURGERY DEPOSITS

This office may request deposits against the total of charges in cases where the patient does not have insurance, proof of insurance, sufficient insurance, or the insurance does not cover the procedure.

ACCEPTANCE OF INSURANCE

This office will accept “Assignment of Benefits” on verified insurance policies and submit a bill to the carrier on the patient’s behalf. It is understood that insurance is filed as a courtesy and does not relieve the patient of financial responsibility.

SECONDARY INSURERS

Having more than one insurance does not necessarily mean that your services are covered 100%. Secondary insurances willpay as a function of what your primary carrier pays. We will bill your secondary carrier as a courtesy. The patient/guarantor is responsible for any balances after all insurances have cleared.

RELEASE OF INFORMATION

By signing our release of information form, you provide us with the authority to release such information as is necessary to collect from insurance companies and other third party payers.

PATIENT RESPONSBILITY

Balances after insurance are due within 30 days of the insurance payment, unless other satisfactory arrangements have been made with this office.

Our office will obtain authorization with your insurance company for tests that are ordered by our physicians. Our office will not obtain authorization for your initial visit with our doctors. It is the responsibility of the referring doctor to obtain authorization for our services.

Not all services are covered by all insurance companies. It should be understood that by accepting the services, the patient is responsible for payment regardless of the fact that insurance covers the service or not.

This office cannot become involved with any third party liability matters and must always look to the patient/guarantor for payment of the bill.

DIVORCE DECREES

This office is not a party to your divorce decree. Adult patients are responsible for their bill at the time of service. The responsibility for minors rests with the accompanying adult.

MINOR PATIENTS

The adult accompanying a minor on the visit will be responsible for payment or insurance co-payments.

BAD DEBTS

If the account is not paid in full or satisfactory arrangements made within the allowable time frames, this office reserves the right to refer the account to a collection agency for collection of this balance.

The administration and Management welcomes the opportunity to discuss any aspect of the financial policy. We appreciate your confidence and strive to provide quality healthcare.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

By signing below, I agree that I have read and fully understand the financial policy set forth by Taylor Regional Orthopedics Group and I agree to the terms of this financial policy. I also understand and agree that the terms of this policy may be amended by the practice at any time without prior authorization to the patient.
