We want you to know what to expect so you can make an informed decision. In order to accomplish this, by signing below you agree to the following:

• All fees for the "self-pay" service must be paid in full on the date of service and at time of service.

• If you did not pay for a service at the time it was provided you agree, and are aware, that we will charge your card on file for the said service amount, and you will not receive a statement prior to your card being charged.

• You will not be able to make additional appointments for yourself or family members unless you have a zero balance on the account.

• The "self-pay" amount covers only the professional services provided by our office. You are financially responsible for all ancillary services, for example laboratory, x-ray or other services not performed by our office. You will receive a separate bill from those third-party facilities.

• Please know, if you have insurance and choose to not use it, ancillary services and prescriptions may not be covered by your insurance company if they are a result of the visit today. *Please Note: It will be your responsibility to obtain your test results and provide the results to our office*

• If you have insurance or other types of coverage, services received today that are included in the “self-pay” discount will not likely be reimbursed by your carrier, or applied to your deductible. This office will not provide any documentation such as procedure codes, diagnosis codes, CMS 1500/HCFA or UB-04 forms associated with the visit that could be used to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

• We are unable to provide you with any necessary prior authorizations that may be needed by your insurance, if you have any, that may be needed for prescription coverage or any other medical needs such as therapies.

• We are unable to provide medical records, communicate in writing or speak to your ministry sharing plan or insurance, if you have any, regarding any billing, medical issues or help you in getting any medical necessity items approved while you are a “self-pay” patient.

• Once you have been seen as a “self-pay" patient for a visit that visit remains as a “self-pay” visit and our office will not submit it to any other insurance plan down the road.

• If you require receipts you will need to request these on a monthly basis in order to receive them as our staff will not process requests for multiple dates of service stemming from more than a 30 day span.

• *IF YOU ARE A PATIENT WITH A MINISTRY SHARING PLAN YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ITEMIZED BILLS (showing CPT codes; we will not provide a CMS-1500/HCFA or UB-04 form nor will our office complete one or submit one on your behalf).*
