      Office Policies

      Patient Payments

      You should expect to make some payments either before your office visit or at the time services are rendered. As a patient you must make your co-payment, deductibles and coinsurance payments at the time you receive care.

      Your payment options are as follows:

      For Cosmetic or Non-Covered Services: Payment Required at Time of Service

      For Medical or Covered Services:

      – Pay at time of service: Payment at Time of Service

      – Bill my insurance first: Payment up to 45 days later

      The amount of your patient office visit fee is based on your insurance plan, if any, and whether the services to be provided are covered services. You should also expect to pay fees for procedures that are not covered by your insurance; including certain cosmetic services and skin care products. You may pay for these additional procedures, services and products at the conclusion of your appointment.

      Insurance

      Before your visit, you should check with your insurance company to be sure that you have the proper documentation with you when you arrive (health insurance card, member id number, etc) and are aware of your co-payment, co-insurance, and deductible requirements and any insurance restrictions.

      If we are a participating provider on your insurance plan, as a courtesy we will file a claim with your insurance company. If you elect the

      Bill my insurance first payment plan and request that we bill your insurance company first you must supply us a copy of the credit card that will be billed for any outstanding amounts; provide consent to charge the credit card and supply certain other information items to facilitate a complete filing of your insurance claim. Based on the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) response from your insurance company we will bill your credit card the amount that is your responsibility and send you a copy of the receipt reflecting the charges. We will not send you a bill or invoice. Your EOB from your insurance company will serve as your invoice.

      In the event that your insurance company denies payment for any reason, you or your guarantors are responsible for payment of all outstanding charges for services rendered. We will generally, allow 45 days from the time we submit a claim to your insurance company for the insurance company to acknowledge the claim, make payment, or deny the claim. On the 46th day if we have not received payment, the amount is
      due in full by you and we will charge the credit card you have on file with us.

      If you are a subscriber of one of the HMO plans that City of Angels Dermatology participates you may select the Pay at time of service payment option. Your total responsibility for covered services is your co-payment and shall be paid prior to services are rendered.

      If we are non-participating provider on your insurance plan, you are expected to pay in full at each office visit. We will supply you with an itemized form that you can use to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

      Allowable Forms of Payment

      We accept the following forms of payment for all fees.

      · Cash

      · Check

      · Credit Card – Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Debit Card
