Insurance and Billing
Policies
Participation
Our office participates in numerous PPO and commercial insurance plans.
Please contact your particular insurance company to verify that our
providers are listed with your plan.
Co-Payment & Deductibles
It is our contractual agreement and our office policy to collect co-pays
and deductible owed by the patient at the time of service. If you are
unsure of your plan limitations and/or benefits, please contact your
insurance company or plan administrator for guidance.
Claim Filing
Our experienced insurance department will be happy to file your
insurance
claims on your behalf. To ensure that your claims are forwarded
correctly,
please provide us with a current copy of your insurance card (s). In
addition, please notify us promptly of any changes in your coverage. You
may fax this information to our office at 405-722-9463.
How You Can Help
Insurance companies normally process claims within 30 days. If you have
not received an explanation of benefits (EOB) from your insurance
company
within this time frame, please contact your plan administrator for
assistance. We will be happy to assist you with any information you may
need.

Insurance Department
Billing Statements
Statements are mailed monthly on accounts with balances due from the
patient. Your statements will reflect 30 days of activity which will
include any
services rendered, insurance and personal credits received. If you have
any questions regarding your statement, please contact our billing
department for assistance.
Private Pay
Patients without insurance coverage are required to pay in full for
services at the time they are rendered.
Personal Injury/Auto Accidents
We ask that on your first visit for these types of services, you supply
us
with all the information needed to file a claim to the responsible
party.
Without this information, you will be asked to pay for your services at
the time they are rendered. If you have legal representation, please
provide us with their name, address and phone number. It is our policy
to file physician liens against any balance over $200.00.
Payment Arrangements
In the event you are unable to pay any balance due, we will be happy to
set
up a payment plan suitable to us both. Any arrangements made must be
kept
current in order to avoid your entire balance being due in full.
