Fees and Insurance
The fees at Gastroenterology Associates of Tidewater are
within the customary range for the Tidewater area.
We accept Medicare, most HMO’s, most PPO’s and other insurance
carriers.
Please check your insurance company’s provider directory
to see if your physician is listed.
For insured patients, we request only payment of the insurance
deductible, and co-payment at the time service is rendered.
If this is not possible, please notify our Patient Accounts
Representative, who will work with you to develop a payment
plan that is best suited to your budget.
If your insurance carrier required referral forms, please
make certain that you obtain the necessary forms from
your primary care or other referring physician prior to
your visit.
As a service to you, our office staff will complete and
submit the required claims to your insurance carrier for
all your fees.
If you have any questions regarding fees or your insurance
coverage, please call our Billing Department. We are always
available and happy to discuss your account with you.
For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, checks
and cash.
Please also be aware that your insurance policy is a contract
between you and your insurance company. You are financially
responsible to Gastroenterology Associates of Tidewater
for non-payment of any fees not covered by your insurance.
You will receive a bill for the balance due after an insurance
payment, which will be due upon receipt. If you need to
make payment arrangements, please contact our billing
department ahead of time to make these arrangements.
Any unpaid balance will be subject to a finance charge
of 1.5% per month (18% APR) commencing 60 days from the
date of service.
If you account goes to a collection agency, you will be
responsible for all cost of collections, including attorney’s
fees in the amount of 33 ½ % plus court costs and any
interest allowable by law (if incurred). |
