Front Desk: Appointments/Billing To schedule your appointment or ask any questions, please call or email. Email Billing@dkb-allergy.com	Financial Policy In an effort to provide the best allergy specialty care at the lowest possible cost to you, our financial policy is designed to clearly define your responsibility for payment and our role in assisting you with insurance reimbursement for services you receive. We participate in most insurance plans, and bill to primary and secondary insurances. If you have any questions about our participation, please contact your insurance company or call our office. If we do not have a contractual agreement with your insurance company, payment for office services is due at the time services are rendered. We accept cash, check and credit card payments. Please be aware that some insurance companies have a limit on their allergy benefit/coverage. Also, not all services are covered benefits in all contracts. Some insurance companies arbitrarily select certain services they will not cover. You should verify your benefit/coverage before making an appointment. We will gladly discuss proposed treatment and answer any questions relating to your insurance. You must realize, however, that-- Our fees are generally considered to fall within the acceptable range by most companies and, therefore, are covered up to the maximum allowances determined by each carrier. This statement does not apply to companies who reimburse on an arbitrary "schedule" of fees, which bears no relationship to the current standard and cost of care in this area. For each month greater than 30 days that your outstanding bill remains unpaid, you will be assessed a $5.00 finance charge. If your insurance requires a co-pay for specialist as explained in your insurance information your co-pay will be collected before services are rendered. Starting Jan.1, 2011, there will be a $10.00 surcharge if the co-pay is not paid at the time of the visit. For each month the bill is not paid, a surcharge of $5.00 will be added. If your insurance is an HMO, you are responsible to supply this office with the referral and/or authorization forms prior to being examined. Failure to do so may result in denial of coverage, the fees for which you will be held responsible. You are responsible for informing us of any changes in your insurance plan or policy. Failure to do so may result in denial of coverage, the fees for which you will be held responsible. If you do not have the proper forms described in your insurance handbook, then you MUST reschedule or, if your plan offers "Out of Network" benefits, then you may be seen as an "Out of Network" patient which may result in a somewhat higher cost to you. No show appointments will result in a $225.00 no-show fee for new patients, and a $50.00 no-show fee for established patients. Patients will not be able to reschedule their appointments until the no show fee is paid in full. Returned checks will be subject to additional collection fee of $25.00 or greater. We will do our best in the filing of insurance claims, however, all charges are ultimately your responsibility.
