We request that an insurance card is presented at each visit. All co-payments and past due balances are due at time of check-in unless previous arrangements have been made with a billing coordinator. We accept cash, check or credit cards. No post-dated checks will be accepted.
Returned Checks
The charge for a returned check is $30 payable by cash or money order. This will be applied to your account in addition to the insufficient funds amount. You may be placed on a cash-only basis following any returned check.
Medical Record Copies
There is no charge for a single set of medical records. Any additional copies will cost $.75 per page. If you are leaving the practice, we suggest that you pick up the records. Premier Pediatrics cannot be responsible for claims that the records have not reached the destination. To guarantee receipt of records, we advise our patience families to pick up the records themselves.
