Financial Policy
Payment Policy:
Medical Services provided by Urology, P.A. and the payment for those services are transactions between you and the Physicians. Like any other business activity, you are responsible for payment of services on the day those services are rendered.
Insurance: Payment for out-of-pocket charges (deductibles, co-payments, non-covered charges) is expected on the date of service. As a service to you, we will file insurance on your behalf and make every reasonable effort to obtain payment according to your coverage. Regardless of the type of insurance coverage you have, you are ultimately responsible for paying your medical bills. If your insurance company rejects the claim or delays payment, we will bill you after 30 days for those charges.
No Insurance Coverage: Upon arrival in our office for your appointment, patients without insurance coverage will meet with a patient representative to discuss the details of our payment options and requirements, including CareCredit, a flexible financing program. At that time, you will be expected to pay a $100.00 deposit prior to services being rendered. If pre-payment cannot be made, your appointment may be rescheduled.
Payment Options: We accept cash, personal checks, Visa, Master Card and CareCredit, a financing plan we are pleased to offer as a separate line of credit to cover your healthcare needs.
Credit Policy
If your account has an unresolved or outstanding balance, you will be expected to prepay for your visit and make a payment on the unresolved balance or your appointment may be rescheduled.
NOTE: Unresolved balances may be placed with an outside collection agency.

Insurance
Please provide complete and accurate insurance information. Please bring all insurance cards and show them to the receptionist; usually these will be copied and placed on file with your records. It is your responsibility to notify us of any special requirements of your insurance carrier, such as the need for second opinions, pre-admission certification, or pre-procedure certification and of any change in your coverage.
Insurance is filed for you free of charge for hospital admission or surgery and is mailed to your insurance company or directly to your employer if it is a group policy. (Exception: For the filing of certain disability policies covering loans, mortgages, etc., there will be a small fee.)
Our insurance clerk is on staff to assist you and will handle any questions or problems you might have regarding your insurance. The insurance clerk may be reached by calling 662-377-7105. Please do not ask your physician to fill out forms while you are in the examining room. We do not participate in the Champus Program. We do participate in the following plans:

Patient Information Forms

It is necessary in order for the doctor to treat you, for the filing of your insurance, and for us to be able to reach you when necessary. Please fill out the form completely and accurately. We will be glad to provide assistance if requested.
You can view and/or print the necessary patient forms for your appointment by following these easy instructions.
