Patients

Billing

Financial and Managed Care Policies: 

• Your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. It is your responsibility to know your plan. 
• All copay, co-insurance, and other balances due are required at the time of each visit. If you have a deductible on your insurance plan, payment will be required at each visit until it is met. 
• We accept all major credit cards and checks. A fee will be charged for all returned checks. 
• We are contracted with many insurance companies and other health plans to accept assignment of benefits. We will bill those insurance companies; however, you will still be responsible for your co-payments, co-insurance, and deductibles. Not all insurance plans cover all services. If your insurance plan considers a service not covered, you will be notified prior to your service to make arrangements for the charge. 
• We will bill your insurance company for all services provided in the hospital. You are responsible for any balance due. 
  
  

Cancellation and “No Show” Fee Policy:

• Each time a patient misses an appointment without providing proper notice, another patient is prevented from receiving care. Therefore, HeartCare Consultants reserves the right to charge a fee of $50 for established patients and $125 for new patients.
• “No Show” fees are billed to the patient. This fee is not covered by insurance and must be paid prior to your next appointment. Multiple no-shows in any 12-month period may result in termination from our practice. 
• Kindly give us 24 hours’ notice if you are not able to make your appointment. 
• If you arrive more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, it may need to be rescheduled depending on schedule availability.
