Welcome to Digestive Associates of Houston, P.A. and thank you
for choosing us! We appreciate your confidence and goodwill. To
ensure that we have financial stability and can continue to provide
medical services to the community and region, the following policies
shall be enforced: All charges are due and payable at time of service. We accept
cash, checks, and major credit cards. We may reschedule the appointment if payment is not made prior to the services rendered.
If the patient fails to cancel his/her procedure/test appointment at least 72 hours in advance, the patient is responsible for a $50 fee which will not be applied to any copay, deductible or coinsurance.
Overpayments will be refunded to the appropriate party, normally
the insurance company or guarantor. Patients' refunds will not be processed until all active or past
due accounts are paid in full. Our physician will not become involved in disputes arising from
third party claims (i.e. automobile accidents, liability claims, etc.) with the exception of verified Workers'
Compensation claims. There will be a $25 handling fee to cover the administrative
fee for writing a letter or filling out claims forms, such as insurance forms and disability forms (except Medicare
patients). The fee is due once the form is completed, and the patient will be directly responsible for this
fee. Checks returned to Digestive Associates of Houston, P.A. for
insufficient funds, closed account, stopped payment, or for any other reason will be subject to $50.00 fee. A reasonable fee of $25.00 shall be charged for the first twenty
pages and $0.15 per page for every copy thereafter. Requests will be completed within ten (10) business
days.
