Policies – Payment
Payment Policy & Procedure for Office Visits and Procedures ( 01/14/2016 )
Harrisburg Gastroenterology, Ltd. appreciates and encourages payment at the time services are rendered. As a service to you, we will submit charges for any procedure to your insurance company.
If Harrisburg Gastroenterology, Ltd. is a participating physician with your insurance company, we will submit charges and receive payment directly from them. Any amounts applied to your deductible, co-insurance or any specifications in your plan are your responsibility.
Insurances with which we DO NOT participate have different scales of payment for procedures. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY ANY AMOUNTS APPLIED TO YOUR DEDUCTABLE, CO-INSURANCE OR ANY BALANCE NOT PAID FOR BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
Please be aware that we are not responsible for claims submitted by a Laboratory, Pathology Services, X-Ray Department or Hospital. If you have questions regarding any bills received from an ancillary provider, you will need to contact the provider directly.
It is standard with all insurance companies that even if our office obtains a pre-authorization number, there is no guarantee of payment. Payment depends upon your particular plan. It is your responsibility to check into what your plan does and does not cover.
The physicians of Harrisburg Gastroenterology, Ltd. may utilize Harrisburg Endoscopy & Surgery Center, Inc. for your endoscopic procedure. This facility is a separate entity from Harrisburg Gastroenterology, Ltd. Please be aware that you will receive separate bills for any procedures performed at Harrisburg Endoscopy & Surgery Center, Inc. as well as bills for any Anesthesia and Pathology Service.
2. Cancellation / No Show policy for outpatient procedures:
Due to the large block of time needed for your procedure, last minute cancellations can prevent other patients from receiving care and cause added expenses to the office. If procedures are not cancelled at least three days in advance, you will be charged a seventy-five-dollar ( $75.00 ) fee; this is not covered by your insurance and will need to be paid prior to scheduling any additional procedures.
