In Medicare or other insurance companies assigned cases, the physician or supplier agrees to accept the charge determination of the Medicare and Other insurance companies as the full charge, and the patient is responsible only for the deductible, coinsurance, and non-covered services.

PATIENT CONSENT FORM

The Department of Health and Human Services has established a "Privacy Rule" to help ensure that personal information is protected for privacy. The Privacy Rule was also created in order to provide a standard for certain health care providers to obtain their patients' consent for uses and disclosure of health information about the patient to carry out treatment, payment, or health care operations.

As our patient at Allergy, Asthma and Sinus Center, PC, we want you to know that we respect the privacy of your personal medical information and will do all we can to secure and protect that privacy.

When it is appropriate and necessary, we provide the minimum necessary information to only those we feel are in need of your health care information and information about treatment, payment or health care operations, in order to provide health care that is in your best interest.

We also want you to know that we support your full access to your personal medical records. We may have indirect treatment relationships with you (such as; laboratories that only interact with physicians and not patients), and may have to disclose personal health information for purposes of treatment, payment or health care operations. These entities are most often not required to obtain patient consent.

You may refuse to consent to the use or disclosure of your personal health information, but this must be in writing. Under this law, we have the right to refuse to treat you should you choose to refuse to disclose your Personal Health Information (PHI). If you choose to give consent in this document, at some future time, you may request to refuse all or part of your (PHI). You may not revoke actions that have already been taken which relied on this or a previously signed consent.

If you have any objection to this Form, please ask to speak with our HIPAA Compliance Officer.

Financial Policy

Thank you for choosing Allergy Asthma & Sinus Center to provide you and/or your child with quality and affordable healthcare. This goal is best achieved if everyone is aware of our financial policy, which is an agreement between the practice and the patient/guardian. Your clear understanding of the financial policy agreement is important to our professional relationship. We require a signature to document that you have read and understand these policies.

PAYMENTS ARE DUE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE UNLESS PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN REQUESTED AND APPROVED IN ADVANCE. YOU ARE EXPECTED TO PAY ACCORDING TO THE ARRANGEMENTS.

New Patients - Prior to your initial visit based on insurance benefits, allowables, verification and eligibility, you are expected to pay a minimum of $250.00, all or part of this will be for the office visit. There are additional charges for any testing (allergy or pulmonary). Additional testing will be performed as determined by the rendering physician at the time of the office visit.

Insurance/Payment-Payment for services is due at the time services are rendered, except as outlined as follows. Insurance plans vary considerably and we cannot predict or guarantee what part of our services will or will not be covered. On arrival, please sign in at the front desk and present your current Insurance card at every visit. It is the responsibility of the patient/guardian to provide accurate insurance information. Inaccurate information given to the staff that results in denial or non-coverage by your insurance company results in the guarantor being responsible for payment. According to your contractual agreement with your insurance plan, you are responsible for your co-payment, co-insurance, and/or deductible at the time of service. Please understand that all co-payments are due at the time of service. It is important for you to be an informed consumer who understands the specifications of your insurance policy regarding doctor visits coverage, referral/authorization requirements for specialty care in allergy, asthma and sinus center. You should refer to information from your insurance company or call them if you have questions about your coverage.

IF WE PARTICIPATE WITH YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY - All services performed in our office will be submitted as a courtesy to your insurance. All insurance carriers have a fee schedule from which they will reimburse. Not all services provided by this office are covered benefits in all contracts. Therefore, any balance not covered by insurance becomes the responsibility of the patient/guardian.

IF WE DO NOT PARTICIPATE WITH YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY - We are not able to bill your insurance and we cannot accept payment from them for the services performed. You will be classified as self-pay and will be provided with a bill.

BILLING - We accept cash, checks, Master Card, Visa, Discover, and Care Credit. Balances are due within 30 days unless prior arrangements have been made with the billing department. Outstanding balances not paid in full within 90 days of the first billing statement will be forwarded to a collection agency. If your account is turned over to a collection agency we will continue to see you on an emergency basis only for the next 30 days. The accompanying patient/guardian is responsible for full payment at the time of service. We realize that temporary financial problems may affect timely payments on your account. If such problems arise, we encourage you to contact our billing department promptly for payment arrangements and assistance in the management of your account. Should your account balance become uncollectible due to bankruptcy, we will continue to see you on an emergency basis only for the next 30 days, giving you time to find a new source of medical care. Please call our office if you have a question about your bill. Most problems can be settled quickly and easily, and your call will prevent any misunderstandings. If you are having trouble paying your bill, please discuss the situation with us. Satisfactory arrangements can almost always be made. Financial considerations should never prevent you from receiving the care you need when you need it.

MISSED APPOINTMENTS/LATE CANCELLATIONS - Missed appointments represent a cost to us, to you, and other patients who could have been seen in the time set aside for you. We reserve the right to charge for missed appointments. For cancellations, a 24 hour notice prior to the appointment is requested. However, we understand that emergencies arise so please call us if you MUST MISS AN APPOINTMENT. After a third missed appointment in a family within a one year period, the family will be seen for 30 days to allow time to find a physician practice as we may discharge them from the practice due to failed professional relationship.

FORMS/PRESCRIPTIONS - We require at least 48 hours for all forms to be completed. Please allow-24-48 hours for prescription refills to be completed.

MEDICAL RECORDS - We will provide a copy of our records on to another provider one time at no cost. PLEASE NOTE: ONCE RECORDS ARE TRANSFERRED FOR A PATIENT TO ANOTHER OFFICE, WE WILL NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED THE PRIMARY PROVIDER. In most cases, we will not accept transferred patients back into our care.

REFERRALS - If your insurance plan requires a written referral for you to see a specialist, for procedures, etc.; you must allow at least 3-5 days business days to complete the appropriate form (s) prior to obtaining services. You may have to reschedule your appointment if enough notice is not given to prepare your referral. Only emergency referrals will be completed on the same day. Retroactive referrals cannot be written and will not be honored. In general, we do not agree to a referral for a person we have not been consulted about first.

MINORS - Effective January 1, 2016: to be in accordance with the South Carolina Code of Laws, we will not see children under the age of 16 in the office without being accompanied by a parent/guardian.

I HAVE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE FINANCIAL POLICY SET FORTH BY ALLERGY, ASTHMA & SINUS CENTER. I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS FINANCIAL POLICY MAY BE AMENDED BY THE PRACTICE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT PRIOR NOTIFICATION TO THE GUARANTOR.

PLEASE DO NOT SIGN THIS FORM UNLESS YOU HAVE READ IT.
