******OFFICE POLICIES******
PHONE CALLS/AFTER HOURS CALLS/TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS: We typically return routine/non-urgent phone calls within the
same business day if the message is left within normal business hours. Our policy is to provide quality patient care through scheduled office visits, not
unscheduled phone calls, and we may direct you to make an appointment. If it is an urgent matter, you may dial our after-hours number (866.256.4501)
to contact a provider. After hours phone calls in excess of five minutes will be charged a rate consistent with office time, and are not covered by
insurance.
EMERGENCIES:
In the event of any emergency, please go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 immediately. You may also contact your provider through the
after-hours line, after taking the step above.
MEDICATION REFILLS:
Please recognize when you are short on medication and call your pharmacy. Often patients have refills on file. If not, ask the pharmacy to fax the
office a medication refill request for your doctor to review. It is best to notify your pharmacy at least 5 business days before you would run out of
medication. If you call the office needing refill of medication within 48 hours, you will be charged $25.
MISSED/LATE APPOINTMENTS:
Missed appointments not canceled within 24 hours’ notice will be charged. Charges for missed appointments are usually not covered by insurance.
MEDICAL FORMS/PATIENT REQUESTED LETTERS:
Charges to complete medical forms and patient requested letters are usually not covered by insurance companies and are the responsibility of the
patient. Fees may vary according to the length and complexity of the form or requested letter. Payment is due prior to picking up or mailing the
requested document.
PAYMENT
Walters,MD/Ford, MD If am being treated by Joseph Walters, MD or Richard Ford, MD:
* I understand, they are NON-PARTICIPATING in my insurance plan, including MEDICARE/MEDICAID.
* I agree to accept full responsibility for payment of fees incurred at the time of each visit.
* I will be made available necessary billing/procedure codes for the type of treatment I receive from Dr. Walters/Ford, which can be submitted to my
insurance carrier for any reimbursement for which I may be eligible.
Scott, LPC/Veilleux, Ph.D. If I am being treated by Catherine Scott, LPC or by Suzanne Veilleux, Ph.D.:
*If I am 'self-pay', payment will be due at the time service is rendered.
*If I have insurance, I acknowledge that LPA may disclose protected health information to my insurance carrier or other third party responsible for my
bill as required in order to receive reimbursement for services provided.
* Medical Insurance: We strongly urge you to thoroughly review your insurance plan prior to your appointment. The type of plan chosen by you
determines your insurance benefits. We will electronically (or paper) file your medical insurance claims and bill your medical insurance for treatment
you receive. However, in the event the insurance company does not pay the bill, the balance will become the patient’s responsibility.
*I authorize and request assignment of benefits to be paid directly to LPA. I acknowledge and agree to pay any unpaid balances not covered by my
insurance policy, including deductibles, co-payments, and unauthorized or out of network services. Copayments and deductibles are to be paid at each
appointment.
