I also understand that I am financially responsible for any balance not covered by my insurance carrier(s) (including but not limited to deductibles and/or co-payments) and agree to pay the full charges if payment is/are denied by my insurance carrier(s) for any reason or if no insurance coverage exists at the time of services.

I understand it is mandatory to notify the health care provider of any other party who may be responsible for payments (section 1128 B, Social Security Act and 31 U.S.C. 3801- 3812 provides penalties for withholding this information). Medicare regulations apply. I have received, read and agree with the billing and other office policies.

With my consent, Ravi Kant, M.D., his associates, and office staff can call my home and leave messages on an answering machine or with a person, text, or e-mail me regarding appointments and contact the designated emergency contact person if needed. I may revoke my consent in writing except to the extent that the practice has already acted upon in reliance upon my prior consent.

Office Policies

Insurance Coverage:

Due to frequent changes in insurance coverage (benefits, exclusions, deductibles and/or prescription coverage, etc.), we cannot inform or advise you about your benefits. In some insurance policies, certain diagnoses may be excluded, such as ADHD, Autism, Mental Retardation and related conditions. We do not routinely do the paperwork for non-formulary medicines not covered by your insurance company. You are responsible for keeping track of number of visits allowed in your plan and how many visits you have used with your therapist and prescriber. You will be charged for additional visits. If you do not have insurance coverage, you are responsible for the full charges. Please inquire in advance about our charges if you do not have insurance.

Payments:

It is our policy to collect all co-payments and/or deductibles at the time of service unless arrangements are made ahead of time. We accept checks, cash, and debit or credit cards (Visa, MasterCard American Express or Discover).

A service charge of $10.00 plus interest (1.5%/month) may be added to any outstanding balance over 30 days past due. Also, all delinquent accounts (over 90 days past due) may be turned over to a collection agency. An additional $40.00 as a handling fee and the costs of collection (including attorneys’ fees and costs) will be added to the total amount due.

Cancellation/No Show Policy:

We understand that it is not always possible to keep a scheduled appointment or give 24 hours notice of cancellation. If a pattern of same day cancellation or “No Shows” develop, we reserve the right to bill you $50.00 fee for the missed appointment time. Your insurance company is not responsible for this charge. Prescriptions may not be called in for No Show or Canceled appointments. Additionally, if there are frequent No Show for appointments or non-compliance with treatments, you may be discharged from the practice.

Lost Prescription Fee:

A service fee of $20.00 will be charged to replace lost scripts. Scripts will need to be picked up from the office after payment of the fee.

Returned checks:

Fee of $40.00 will be charged for checks returned for any reason.

**Fees may be changed without notice.

I have read and agree to be legally bound by the terms of these office policies including the financial responsibility provisions hereof. I understand that I am financially responsible for any amounts not covered or paid by my insurance carrier and that I am responsible for providing current insurance information and inform the office of any address and/or insurance changes.

E-Prescribing Medication History Consent

I understand that NeuroPsychiatry Center utilizes e-prescribing. I understand that e-prescribing allows the practice to send prescriptions electronically to pharmacies, eliminating the need for prescribing via paper, phone, or fax. E-Prescribing is fast, convenient, legible, secure, cost-effective and safe. In some cases, it also allows the health care provider to access critically important information about patient’s current and past medications from pharmacy benefit managers and community pharmacies. This helps to alert the provider to other potential medication interactions or if patient is getting same or similar medications from multiple providers.

I have been given an opportunity to ask questions about the e-prescribing process and have had those questions answered to my satisfaction. I hereby consent to the practice requesting and using my medication history from other health care providers, pharmacies, or third-party pharmacy benefit payers for treatment purposes.
