Thank you for choosing North Scottsdale Pediatrics for the care of your children. These financial policies are an important part of your child’s care. Due to increased insurance company demands, we ask you to read and agree to the following policies.
We make every attempt to accept a wide range of insurance plans. However, all policies have different benefits, and we cannot know the specific details of each individual policy. It is your responsibility to know your individual policy and to verify all benefits and coverage information prior to having any services rendered. Also, you must notify us of any changes to your insurance plan or policy prior to your visit. Please click here to see a list of accepted insurance plans.
Co-pays and Deductibles
Contracting with health insurance companies requires us to collect co-pays and deductibles. You must pay your amount prior to seeing any of our healthcare providers. If you are unable to pay your co-pay or deductible at the time of your child’s visit, additional fees may apply.
You will be personally responsible for payment for the following reasons:
- You do not have insurance (please ask about our ‘Cash Pay’ policy).
- You are insured by a company or a member of a plan with which North Scottsdale Pediatrics is not contracted.
- Your child receives a service that is not covered by your policy. For example, some plans do not cover certain immunizations.
- Your insurance company denies your claim for any reason that is not resolvable.
- You cannot verify that you have insurance at the time of your appointment.
Other fees that may apply:
- A $25 Fee will be applied to your account for all returned checks.
- A $50 Fee will be applied to your account for canceling less than 24 hours prior to your appointment or for not showing up for your appointment.
Timely payment
If, for any reason, you incur an account balance, we will mail you a statement. If payment of that balance is not received within 30 days, we will charge a $10 processing fee for each subsequently-mailed statement. If after three statements are mailed, you do not pay your balance in full, North Scottsdale Pediatrics reserves the right to send your account to collections.
If you have any questions about these policies, please contact our billing department at (480) 425-4890.
