Past Due Accounts

Any outstanding balance after insurance has paid will be invoiced to you on a statement. Payment is due upon receipt of the statement. Prolonged delinquency in payment may result in the preparation of account for small claims court, collection agency and/or credit bureau reporting with possible discharge from the practice.

The submission of false information on a patient account will result in the account automatically being turned over to collections (i.e. fraudulent mailing address and other necessary contact information). In the event an account is turned over for collection, the person financially responsible for the account will be responsible for all collection costs including reasonable attorney fees and court costs.

A patient may remit in full for all outstanding charges owed on the account including amounts previously placed with the collection service. Under these circumstances, a physician may reserve the right to re-establish the patient to active status in the practice.
