Fees

It is my goal to offer the very best in pediatric care at a fair fee. I welcome any questions you might have about our fees or any specific charges. For office visits, payment is expected at the time of service. If there are family or individual deductibles or copays, they must be paid in cash at the time of service. They will not be billed for payment at a later time or billed to a second insurance company.

For hospital services the office will bill your insurance company directly, but will still hold you ultimately responsible for payment. If there are family or individual deductibles or copays, they must be paid for in full in cash as well. Services must be completely paid for within sixty (60) days of providing the service.

Office fees

Effective January 1, 1995, a modest fee will be assessed for all administrative costs of processing documentation such as (but not limited to) school physical reports, injury reports, and immunization (injection) records. In addition, fees for copying and transferring of medical records will be assessed and must be paid in cash prior to transfer of records.

Missed Appointments

A fee of $25.00 will be charged for a missed physical examination when the office has not been contacted at least 24 hours prior to the physical examination. The fee must be paid in full at the time of the next scheduled visit.
