Payment Options:
As a courtesy, we will submit medical claims to your primary and secondary insurance provider. We are always here to assist you, but we rely on you to provide us with the most current insurance information.
You will not receive a bill from Family Medical Center until your insurance provider has processed your claim. If your insurance does not cover the full amount of the bill, you will receive a bill for the remainder of the charge. If you believe your insurance provider handled your claim incorrectly, please contact your insurance provider directly. It is your responsibility to follow up with your insurance carrier if they are overdue on paying your charges.
You are ultimately responsible for your account. It is your responsibility to make sure we have the correct billing information on file for you and your family members. Please notify us at 320-632-6611 if there are changes to your insurance plan, your name or address.
Family Medical Center will be converting to a new billing system starting in August, 2009. We ask that you be patient as we implement this system. Please note that you may receive two statements during this transition. Do not hesitate to call with questions.
Copayments:
Many insurance companies and managed care plans have copayments (copays). Usually, your insurance card will indicate if a copay is required. If your card does not show whether you owe a copay, please call your insurance provider.
Like most clinics, we request that you pay your copay at the time of your appointment. Please give your copay to the receptionist when you check in to see your doctor.
Referrals:
All referrals must be discussed with your physician at Family Medical Center and arranged PRIOR to your consultation with the specialist. Retroactive or unauthorized referrals will not be approved.
