Financial Policy
HARDY HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATES IS NO
LONGER ACCEPTING INSURANCE
ALL PAYMENTS WILL BE EXPECTED
AT TIME OF SERVICE.
WE WILL ASSIST YOU BY SUPPLYING
YOU WITH INVOICES TO SUBMIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT FROM YOUR INSURANCE
COMPANY.
Cancellation Policy:
1) New Evaluations: we require 14 days
notice for cancelled, and 7 days notice for rescheduled, evaluations
because of the amount of time reserved for this appointment. Failure
to do so will cause a forfeit of your $250 deposit. Please note that
there is a $50 non-refundable administrative fee for all cancelled
initial evaluations.
2) Follow-up Appointments: cancellations
must be made by 9 AM of the business day prior to the scheduled
appointment (this means Friday for a Monday appointment). This
is because we do not overbook in anticipation of a cancellation or
‘no-show’. The time scheduled is for you and cannot be used by
anyone else without advance notification. Therefore, in the case
of a late cancellation the fee will be $50, and for a “no show” you will be
charged $100. This charge will not be covered by
insurance and must be paid on or before the next visit. We very
much prefer to avoid this unfortunate circumstance and hope that it
can be avoided completely. We shall respect your time and
schedule and we hope that you will be respectful of ours.
Teleconferences and E-mail correspondence :
Teleconferences and e-mailing is offered as a convenience to
the patient and/or family where distance or transportation is an
issue. You may elect to schedule office visits instead.
Teleconference time will be billed at the hourly rate of $350 per
hour in tenth of an hour
increments. Please be aware that insurance companies will not
reimburse for
teleconference services. The guarantor / patient will be
responsible for this fee. Teleconference fee must be paid by
credit card at the time of service.
All Balances Over 30 Days:
Will be subject to monthly late charges (1.5% /
month annually).
Balance Over 60 Days:
Must be paid in full at least 48 hours prior to
the next scheduled appointment. We will be happy to reschedule your
appointment if you are unable to pay your bill at that time.
Returned Checks:
There is a $25 service fee for any checks returned
from your bank.
