WELCOME TO DAVIDSON FAMILY MEDICINE
The following is information we feel is important to the mutual understanding between Davidson Family Medicine, P.A. and our patients.
Fees for services are due at the time of service. This includes any co-payment or deductible arrangements with your insurance company. Unpaid accounts are referred to a collection agency with a 30% fee added to the account.
While we will gladly file your claim with your insurance company and assist in many ways to help expedite payment, please remember that your insurance policy is an agreement between the patient and the insurance company.
Our role in participating in your managed care plan is one that we will accept the negotiated reimbursement for services covered by your plan.
Davidson Family Medicine cannot quote or guarantee your benefits. Your role in managed care participation is to know your benefits and alert us of any non-covered services. While we accept negotiated rates for covered services, any non-covered services will be billed to the patient.
Many managed care plans require referral or authorization from your primary care physician to visit a specialist or receive services not rendered at Davidson Family Medicine. While we will gladly obtain these authorizations for you for any referral services from us, we must ask the patient to be aware of their plan and inform us of any needed authorization as soon as possible. Many insurance companies will not honor referrals made after the appointment with the specialist or outside service.
In consideration of other patients and our physicians, we ask that all phones be turned off or be on a silent mode.
Lastly, if you arrive late for your appointment it may be necessary to reschedule. We ask for your cooperation with this so that we may remain on schedule as much as possible. We ask for a 24 hour notice for cancelled or rescheduled appointments. A $25 fee could be applied for missed office visits and a $50 fee could be applied for missed physicals or well checks.
We appreciate the trust you have placed with us in selecting Davidson Family Medicine for you and your family’s health care.
