FINANCIAL & TREATMENT POLICY
Thank you for choosing Behavioral Health Providers.

Unfortunately, paperwork is a necessity in modern health care. Please fill out all of the following necessary fields on this form.
In order to serve you better, our office requires that you understand and agree to the following:

FEES

We require payment in full at the time of service unless prior arrangements have been made with the business office. We accept cash, checks, MasterCard or Visa. We ask that you provide a valid credit card with your signature below to be billed if co-pays are not paid at the time of service and/or if an appointment is missed without 24-hour notice. By signing below, you understand and agree to be responsible for payment of this fee.

APPOINTMENTS

We realize that on occasion you will not be able to make a scheduled appointment. You can leave a cancellation message on our voice mail if a staff member is not available. However, please remember that this time has been reserved for you alone, so a charge of $60.00* will be made to you for missed appointments without notification. Cancellations with less than 24 hours advance notice will be subject to a $50.00* charge. Successful on-going therapy requires a commitment on the part of the client. It is important that you keep your appointment if at all possible.
You are responsible for charges not eligible and/or covered by your medical insurance plan. You are responsible for preauthorization from your insurance company.

TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS

Time spent with you on the telephone by your mental health professional other than for appointment information may be charged at a prorated hourly charge.

COLLECTION POLICY

The balance on all accounts is due in full within 30 days of the billing date. A $7.50* interest charge will be applied to all accounts 60 days or more past due. Past due accounts may be subject to additional charges incurred, including collection agency fees, attorney fees and court costs. There will be a $25.00* fee for returned checks.

PREPARATION OF FORMS AND REPORTS

These require chart review and often, discussion with the client. There will be a minimum charge of $25* up to a maximum of $150* per hour.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND RELEASE OF RECORDS

All information regarding patients is considered strictly confidential and will not be given out to anyone without your written consent. In the event of a request for transfer of records, the records will be forwarded upon completion of a consent form and a payment fee of $30.*

INSURANCE BILLING

We will file your claim as a courtesy to you with your Primary Insurance Carrier. We will not file claims to Secondary Insurance Carriers, Medicare or Public Aid. It remains your responsibility to pay any deductibles, copayments or other amounts your carrier determines as payable by you. If your insurance carrier has not paid for our services after a 60 day period, you will be expected to pay your balance in full and may collect from your carrier if you desire. It is your responsibility to provide us with updated information if your insurance company changes or your coverage terminates. By signing below, you authorize your clinician to furnish your health insurance company with all information that any insurance company may request concerning treatment for yourself and/or dependents.

YOUR ROLE IN PROVIDING ACCURATE INFORMATION AND CERTIFICATION/AUTHORIZATION FOR INSURANCE BILLING

It is your responsibility to pre-certify your initial visit and to know your plan’s limitations, deductibles and exclusions. If the insurance information you provide to us is later determined to be inaccurate, resulting in a denial of your claim, then you will be responsible for the amount denied by your carrier.
*Items with asterisks are not reimbursable by insurance.
