I understand this quote is not a guarantee of payment and that plan benefits may differ once my claim is processed. I understand that the Allergy & Asthma Center of Boerne can only rely on the information quoted to them. I agree to immediately notify your office if I have a scheduled appointment or prior to scheduling appointments if my insurance plan has changed. ________ I understand all claims are subject to review prior to plan payment, and that this may include a review for Pre-existing conditions. I agree to pay in full for services denied due to a pre-existing condition. ________ I agree that in the event my account is sent to collections for unpaid charges that are approved by my insurance then I am responsible for all charges applied by a collection agency and/or attorney’s office. I understand the current amount charged to The Allergy & Asthma Center of Boerne by their collection agency is 25% to 35% of the total balance. I agree to pay for all collection efforts related to my account. Patients with Managed Care Plans Please Read Carefully & Initial ________ I understand if my insurance plan requires a referral to be issued by my selected Primary Care Doctor in order for a specialist to receive payment, then it is my responsibility to inform your office prior to scheduling appointments.

Note: Your secondary will be filed by our office as a courtesy. Any overpayment by you will be refunded promptly after the secondary has processed all claims. ________ By initialing on this line, you hereby acknowledge you have read and understand the section below: Strict and standardized guidelines are set by all commercial, state, and federal insurance plans for the purpose of determining an individuals correct primary, secondary, and (if applicable) tertiary insurance plan. This enables each plan to properly coordinate benefits (Known officially as Coordinate of Benefits or COB) Under no circumstances are policyholders allowed to decide the order of their primary/secondary/tertiary plan, but are legally obligated to contact the member services department for each carrier. Once notified the carriers will determine their status and also inform you of the correct order claims must be filed by every individual provider of service you seek services from. Failure to notify each plan as required will result in costly, unnecessary, and intensive labor efforts by the staff of the Allergy & Asthma Center of Boerne in order to obtain proper payment for your services. Therefore it is our policy to bill the responsible party for any refunds issued due to the failure to notify other carriers and/or our office of coverage that has not been reported or disclosed at this time. You will be refunded you promptly when/if the correct policy determines they will pay.
