Office Procedures and Policies
Original x-rays are not released to patients and a charge of $5 per sheet is required to copy x-rays.

There is a charge of $10 each for all insurance forms that a patient requests be filled out by the physician.

When patients are obtaining orthotics half down is required at the time the casting is done in order for them to be sent out no matter if their insurance supposedly covers them or not. When we are paid by their insurance, a refund will then be made to the patient. The office orthotic policy is handed out when appointment is made for casting.

If a patient has no insurance or their insurance requires a copay, payment is expected at the time of service.

No patient under 18 will be treated without permission of a parent or guardian.

Patients with an insurance requiring referrals are responsible for contacting their Primary Care Physician before their appointment and must have them at the time of their appointment or they will have to reschedule. The office policy on this is handed out at their first visit.

Patients are required to sign surgical consent forms before a surgery is performed and after the physician explains the procedure and risks involved in detail. Copies are given to the patient.

When a patient has a complaint about a service or bill, the appropriate person is contacted and if they are not satisfied with their explanation then further help is obtained.

There will be a charge of $20 for all returned checks.
