Financial Policy

Unless arrangements have been made in advance, co-payments, co-insurance, and any outstanding balances are expected at the time of service. Patients may be financially responsible for payment of all services even if their insurance company does not pay.

Any check returned from the bank will result in an additional $25.00 charge that will appear on your account.

Please keep a close watch for insurance claim payment and contact the insurance company or a clinic patient accounts representative at 361-857-2900 in the event a claim is not resolved in a timely manner. If your insurance company has not responded to a claim within 90 days, we reserve the right to formally transfer all associated liability for the claim to the patient/guarantor.

Please always notify our office of any change in name, address, phone or insurance information.

We realize that emergencies do arise that may affect timely payment of your account. If such extreme cases do occur, please contact a patient accounts representative at (361) 857-2900.
