We have made prior arrangements with many insurers and health plans to accept an assignment of benefits. This means that we will bill those plans to accept an agreement and will only require you to pay the authorized co-payment at the time of service. Our policy is to collect this co-payment when you arrive for your appointment.

In the event that your health plan determines a service to be “not covered”; you will be responsible for the complete charge. Payment is due upon receipt of a statement from our office.

Newborn Eligibility:

Newborn parents, please note that our office policy requires for all newborns to have their own Medicaid ID number by their two weeks checkup. It is your responsibility to make sure your newborn has been reported to your Medicaid Plan.

Please contact Medicaid immediately to register your child. Medicaid usually sends the newborns Medicaid card approximately 2 weeks after birth.

Medicaid will not pay for services provided with mother’s Medicaid number.

After age of 2 weeks, if you do not have the newborn’s Medicaid number you will expected to pay $40.00 for each visit.

I have read and understand the financial policy of the Patrice, and I agree to be bound by it terms. I also understand and agree that the practice may amend such terms from time to time.
