Financial Policy
Christakis Pediatrics, PA Financial Policy
Please review Christakis Pediatrics’ Financial Policy and the handling of insurance matters.
If you have any questions, please contact our office during regular business hours.
As there are many insurance companies and innumerable different plans, it is your responsibility to know the provisions of your insurance plan. Please remember that the policy holder must abide by the contract that he/she has entered into with the insurance company. These provisions may include, but are not limited to:
- Use of a particular laboratory appointed by your insurance company
- Need for a referral to see a specialist
- Requirement of pre-authorization for a service
It is imperative that the office have your correct insurance information on file at all times. If the office does not have the correct insurance information and the insurance company denies the claim, the policy holder is responsible for all the costs on that date of service.
If a copay is required by your insurance, the payment is due at the time of service. A $20 billing fee will be charged if it is not paid at that time.
If your insurance plan includes a deductible, that amount will be payable by you as of the time of the visit.
Accounts with outstanding balances greater than 90 days old will be considered to be in collection status. At that point, physicals and well baby checks will not be scheduled until the balance is paid, or a payment plan is arranged with our office.
