Abilene Ophthalmology Associates accepts most medical insurance plans but
does not accept vision insurance.
Financial Policy
Payment is expected at the time of your visit for any co-payment/co-insurance
amount, plus any deductible. If you do not have insurance or if your insurance
sends payments directly to you, then payment in full is due at each visit.
For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, cash or check.
Should an over-payment occur on the deductible or percentage amounts charged,
we will apply a credit to your account. If you have an appointment within
the next 60 days, the credit is applied to your account and can be used
at that visit. If no further appointments are needed, a refund check for
the credit amount will be mailed to you.
You will also be asked to make a payment on any outstanding balance at
the time of your visit. Patient balances after insurance processing are
due within 30 days.
Please let us know if you have any questions regarding your account.
NSF (non-sufficient funds) checks are sent to InstaChek for collection.
A service fee of up to $30 is charged on all returned checks in addition
to the amount of the check.
Each patient will be asked to sign a statement of agreement with our Financial
Policy upon arrival in one of our offices.
Privacy Rights
The Notice of Privacy Rights describes how medical information about you
may be disclosed and how you can get access to this information. As our
patient, under HIPAA (the new federal privacy act), you have specific
privacy rights. We are required by law to provide you a copy of the notice
and obtain your signature verifying that we did so. Each patient will
be given this notice upon arrival in one of our offices, and will be asked
to sign an acknowledgement of receipt.
