Financial Policy
This is an agreement between Colorado Foot + Ankle Sports Medicine, as creditor, and the Patient/Debtor named on this form.
In this agreement the words, “you”, “your”, and “yours” mean the Patient/Debtor. The word “account” means the account that has been established in your name to which charges are made and payments credited. The words “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Colorado Foot + Ankle Sports Medicine.
By executing this agreement, you are agreeing to pay for all services that are received.
Monthly Statement: If you have a balance on your account, we will send you a monthly statement. It will show separately the previous balance, any new charges to the account, the finance charge, if any, and any payments or credits applied to your account during the month.
Payments: Unless other arrangements are approved by us in writing, the balance on your statement is due and payable when the statement is issued, and is past due if not paid by the due date on your statement.
Co-Payments, Deductibles and Balances are required as services are rendered.
Charges to Account: We shall have the right to cancel your privilege to make charges against your account at any time. Future visits would then need to be paid at the time of service.
Required payments: Any co-payments required by an insurance company must be paid at the time of service. Because this is an insurance requirement, we cannot bill you for these.
Initial:
By signing this agreement, you agree to all the terms and conditions contained herein and the agreement will be in full force and effect.
Missed Appointment Fee: Any patient who does not show up for an appointment, or cancels with less than 24 hours notice, a $50 fee will be charged. We reserve the right to increase this fee without notice. This fee must be paid before a new appointment is scheduled. Patients with three missed appointments will be asked to transfer their records to another doctor.
Initial:
By signing this agreement, you agree to all the terms and conditions contained herein and the agreement will be in full force and effect.
Responsible Party (If not Pateint)
Contracted Insurance: If we are contracted with your insurance we must follow our contract and their requirements. If you have a co-pay or deductible, you must pay that at the time of service. It is the insurance company that makes the final determination of your eligibility. If your insurance company requires a referral and/or preauthorization, you are responsible for obtaining it. Failure to obtain the referral and/or preauthorization may result in a lower payment from the insurance company.
Non-contracted Insurance:Insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company. We are NOT a party to this contract, in most cases. We will bill your primary insurance company as a courtesy to you. Although we must ask for payment in full at the time of service. Should your insurance company return payment a refund will be issued to you less any remaining balance. If your insurance company requires a referral and/or preauthorization, you are responsible for obtaining it. Failure to obtain the referral and/or preauthorization may result in a lower payment from the insurance company.
Divorce:In case of divorce or separation, the party responsible for the account prior to the divorce or separation remains responsible for the account. After a divorce or separation, the parent authorizing treatment for a child will be the parent responsible for those subsequent charges. If the divorce decree requires the other parent to pay all or part of the treatment costs, it is the authorizing parent’s responsibility to collect from the other parent.
Finance Charge:A finance charge will be imposed on each item of your account which has not been paid within thirty (30) days of the time the item was added to the account. The FINANCE CHARGE will be computed at the rate of one percent (1.5%) per month or an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of twelve (12%) percent. The finance charge on your account is computed by applying the periodic rate (1.5%) to the “overdue balance” of your account. The “overdue balance” of your account is calculated by taking the balance owed thirty (30) days ago, and then subtracting any payments or credits applied to the account during the time, but not to exceed the maximum rate permitted by law."
Past due accounts:If your account becomes past due, we will take necessary steps to collect this debt. If we have to refer your account to a collection agency, you agree to pay all the collection costs which are incurred. If we have to refer collection of the balance to a lawyer, you agree to pay all lawyer’s fees which we incur plus all court costs. In case of suit, you agree the venue shall be Douglas County, Colorado.
Returned Checks:There is a fee (currently $25.00) for any checks returned by the bank.
Credit History:You give us permission to check your credit and employment history and to answer questions about your credit experience with us. We have the option to report your account status to any credit reporting agency such as a credit bureau.
Transferring of Records:You will need to request in writing, and pay a reasonable copying fee if you want to have copies of your records sent to another doctor or organization. The amount of the fee is dependent on the number of pages we need to copy. You authorize us to include all relevant information, including your payment history. If you are requesting your records to be transferred from another doctor or organization to us, you authorize us to receive all relevant information, including your payment history.
Waiver of Confidentiality:You understand if this account is submitted to an attorney or collection agency, if we have to litigate in court, or if your past due status is reported to a credit reporting agency, the fact that you received treatment at our office may become a matter of public record and you consent to such disclosure.
Worker Compensation:We require written approval/authorization by your employer and/or worker’s compensation carrier prior to your initial visit. If your claim is denied, you will be responsible for payment in full.
Personal Injury:If you are being treated as part of a personal injury lawsuit or claim, we require verification from your attorney prior to your initial visit. In addition to this verification we require that you allow us to bill your health insurance. In the absence of insurance, other financial arrangements may be discussed. Payment of the bill remains the patient’s responsibility.
