Patient Insurance Liability Information
The contract of medical health insurance is between the patient and the insurance company. Complete Chiropractic Sports & Wellness DOES NOT accept responsibility for determining benefits in advance of your treatment. As a courtesy, we will make every effort to contact your insurance to get a “quote” of benefits, but it is ultimately the responsibility of the insured to verify eligibility for their own health care benefits, visit limitations, deductibles, and co-pays. Possession of a medical insurance member ID card is NOT a guarantee of coverage. A quote is NOT a guarantee of payment from your insurance company. Payment is subject to the terms and conditions of your policy which may be effected by various factors: misquotes can be given, maximums can be met prior to being seen at our office, policies and coverage can change, certain services involved in your treatment plan may not be covered under your policy, and amounts billed may be above your insurance allowable.
Co-Pays and Deductibles
All co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles must be collected at the time of service. We are happy to provide the service of billing your insurance company on your behalf and will accept payment from them directly but any monies owed on your account are ultimately your responsibility per the financial agreement you signed. The office can not be responsible for disputing or appealing the way your insurance has processed payment on a claim. In the event we are not paid in full by your insurance company (less any contractual write-offs we are to take with insurances we are contracted with) you will be balanced billed any remaining charges after your insurance has addressed a claim and required to pay us directly and work out your difficulties with your insurance carrier.
Medicare Non-Covered Services
According to existing Medicare law, most of the services in our clinic are NON-COVERED and are the responsibility of the patient.

Payment

Any Workers’ Compensation and/or motor vehicle claims that are denied by the insurance carrier will become due in full once our office receives an official denial of the claim.
