Insurance

We participate in many managed care programs. These insurance contracts are frequently reviewed and changed; therefore, we will ask for a copy of your ID card at each visit. Prior to your visit, please contact your health plan to verify our participation in your plan. Most plans require members to pay an office co-payment for each office visit. Payment of the co-payment will be expected at the time of your visit. If there is a problem with the verification of your insurance information, full payment for services rendered will be expected at your visit. Therefore, it is incumbent upon you to ensure that you provide the practice with your most recent and correct insurance information.

For your convenience, we have answered a variety of commonly-asked financial policy questions below. If you need further information about any of these policies, please ask to speak with one of the patient coordinators or with the Insurance Coordinator.

How may I pay?

We accept payment by cash, check, VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and financing through Care Credit.

Do I need a referral?

If you have an HMO plan with which we are contracted, you need a referral authorization from your primary care physician. This is also true for Georgia Better Healthcare patients. If we have not received authorization prior to your arrival at the office, your appointment will have to be rescheduled, or you will be responsible for payment in full for your visit.

Which plans do you contract with?

Please contact the office or your insurance company to insure that we are in network with your plan.

No Insurance

Payment in full at the time of the visit.  Work with you to settle your account.  Please ask to speak with our Insurance Coordinator if you need assistance.

Cosmetic Patients

Payment is due in full at your history, and physical appointments usually scheduled one week prior to surgery.  Provide you with information for financing options through Care Credit.

Surgery

If your physician recommends surgery, you will be escorted to his patient coordinator. She will answer specific questions about the cost of surgery, the surgery scheduling process, the paperwork and tests involved. If pre-certification/prior authorization is needed the Insurance Coordinator will send a letter to your insurance company.
A 10% deposit is required on all cosmetic surgeries when scheduled. The balance for these cosmetic surgeries is to be paid at the pre-operative visit one week prior to the surgery. For insurance surgeries, the co-pay and/or deductible is also required at the pre-operative visit. A cost estimate which shows your financial responsibility will be provided prior to that visit.

What if my child needs to see the physician?

A parent or legal guardian must accompany patients who are minors on the patient’s first visit. This accompanying adult is responsible for payment of the account, according to the policy outlined on the previous pages. If the minor requires surgery the same is true for the pre-operative visit. A minor is considered anyone under the age of 18.
