I need to learn more. Russo, please email me details!
I am just now implementing this policy, which is NOT as good but may be a middle road; we get things taken care of but don't have to pay for it:
If your insurance requires this office to obtain "pre authorization" or "prior authorization" for medical care, you will personally be responsible for $10.00 to cover this cost. This must be paid in advance prior to any "pre authorization" or "prior authorization" action by this office. There is no guarantee that your insurance will make an approval based on this "pre authorization" or "prior authorization."
If your insurance requires this office to generate a "letter of medical necessity" for medical care, you will personally be responsible for $35.00 to cover this cost. This must be paid in advance prior to a letter of medical necessity being generated by this office. There is no guarantee that your insurance will make an approval based on this letter of medical necessity.
If your insurance requires this office to make an "appeal" for medical care, you will personally be responsible for $50.00 to cover this cost. This must be paid in advance prior to an appeal being generated by this office. There is no guarantee that your insurance will make an approval based on this appeal.
If your insurance requires that our physician make a "peer to peer" phone call for medical care, you will personally be responsible for $75.00 to cover this cost. This must be paid in advance prior to a "peer to peer" phone call being made. There is no guarantee that your insurance will make an approval based on this "peer to peer" phone call.
Failure to cancel an office/clinic appointment within 24 hours of the appointment will result in a cancellation or “no show" fee charge of $150.00. Failure to cancel a pain injection procedure scheduled in a surgery center, hospital, or fluoroscopic suite within 24 hours of the appointment will result in a cancellation or “no show" fee charge of $300.00.
