Financial Policy
Just like all medical offices, all professional services rendered are charged to you, the patient, and you are responsible for all fees, regardless of insurance coverage. We are sure you understand that it is customary for payment to be made when services are rendered unless other arrangements have been made in advance with an office manager. All co-pays are due the day of your appointment. As is customary, reasonable late fees or collections fees may be assessed in the event of late payment or non-payment of balance.
If your insurance requires a referral, please be sure to request one from your primary care doctor before your visit. It is important to know and understand your benefits and coverage so you are not faced with any financial surprises. When you have no insurance and are paying out of pocket, we offer substantial discounts.
To make things easier for everyone involved, when you sign the financial policy we give you upon your first visit, you acknowledge that payment of authorized Medicare/insurance company benefits be made either to you or on your behalf to Drs. Solomon and Strobl for any services furnished to you by that party who accepts assignment/physician. Regulations pertaining to Medicare assignments of benefits apply.
Our office staff will work with all patients to obtain the necessary prior authorizations for services such as surgery, diagnostic tests, colposcopy, and imaging (ultrasound, MRI, CT, etc) to name a few.
Laboratory Costs
Charges for all Laboratory Studies or blood work obtained in our office are the PATIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY! We have no control over what your insurance does and does not cover! Providers order tests based on what we feel is medically appropriate. Insurance companies don't always agree.
