MEDICARE deductible and co-insurance. Our patients with medicare are required by medicare to pay out of pocket an annual deductibles at the beginning of the year. You are also responsible by law, for the 20% difference between Medicare allowable and the Medicare reimbursement. These requirement is published on the medicare website and the actual amount is updated by medicare on its website.

Bills are DUE UPON RECEIPT.  We are required to collect CO-PAY, DEDUCTIBLE, AND CO-INSURANCE. Past due balances will be assessed a $10 statement fee for each additional statement we must send.

All procedures and lab services have fees, in addition to the visit fee.  Co-pay is usually for office visit only, and does not typically cover procedures (e.g lesion removal, incision, injection or other treatment). Estimates for medical procedures are not typically given by the doctor; estimates can be provided, but procedures will typically need to be rescheduled for another day. A skin or tissue sample must be treated as if it could be cancerous, even if it is removed primarily at the patient’s request, and will result in both excision/biopsy fees and pathology fees. Labs, imaging, special stains, and other test sometimes must be ordered, and may be furnished by independent sources to complete a diagnosis. We are not responsible for those charges; Contact those billing facilities for billing questions.
