FINANCIAL POLICIES
Insurance Policy
It is the policy of Jose A. Gaudier, M.D., P.A. to file insurance as a courtesy to our patients; however deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance are expected to be paid at the time of service. We do not accept responsibility for communications of collections from your insurance company. If we have not received payment from your insurance company within 60 days of the date of service, the responsibility for that payment will transfer to the patient and payment in full will be expected at that time.
If under any circumstances, you are required to file your own insurance, you will be provided with the required information.
Self Pay Accounts
If you do not have insurance, payment in full for all services is expected at the time the services are rendered.
All Accounts
Patients are informed that we may, at our discretion, refer an unpaid account to a collection agency or credit reporting agency. Any cost relating to the collection of such accounts will be added to the balance due.
If at any time your account is turned over to a collection agency for lack of payment, you will no longer be seen in this office until your account is paid in full.
