Billing
The variation of fees charged for office visits, consultations, surgeries and assistant surgery fees are reflective of many factors. Because of the factors involved, it is difficult to predict ahead of time what the actual charge will be. When the patient has been seen, the fee will be assessed and the appropriate charges billed. You will be asked to supply us with the appropriate billing information and we will make copies of your insurance information. We accept cash payments and checks, as well as MasterCard/Visa. Our billing staff will be happy to assist with questions about claims submission and reimbursement issues. They can be contacted through our main telephone number at (518) 587-0845, Option #2, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Self Pay: All self pay patients are required to make up to a $250.00 partial payment prior to seeing the provider.
Insurance Billing: Participation/Non-Participation - As a courtesy to you, our Billing Department submits the claims to the insurance companies. We do participate with many insurance companies; however, to be certain we participate with your plan, please contact your insurance carrier. If we participate with your carrier and co-payments apply - - you are responsible for those co-payments at the time of service. If there is a balance due because of deductibles and co-insurance, you will receive a statement from our office. Our office will submit your claim to your insurance company and you will receive a monthly statement until the services are paid in full.
Litigation Cases: It is our policy; however, not to get involved in any billing arrangements for such cases.
