Financial Policy for Varni Foot and Ankle Care, PLLC
At Varni Foot and Ankle Care, we are committed to providing high-quality care while maintaining clear and transparent policies. Please review the following:
Appointment Requirements
Patients are required to bring a valid insurance card, any necessary referrals, and applicable copayments to each visit. Failure to provide these at the time of service may result in your appointment being rescheduled.
Payments & Insurance
All copayments are due at the time of your visit. Deductibles and coinsurance may also be collected in advance, based on your insurance plan and the anticipated services to be provided. Estimated patient responsibility is determined using procedure codes, your insurance benefits, and contractual agreements with your insurance provider.
​
Any overpayments will be refunded upon request after your insurance claim has been processed.
Returned Payments
A $25 service fee will be charged for any returned checks. The original amount plus the service fee must be repaid using certified funds, including cash, cashier’s check, or money order.
Outstanding Balances
Accounts not paid in full within 90 days of the statement date may be subject to a 35% collection processing fee and may be referred to a collection agency. Patients with outstanding balances may be unable to schedule future appointments until their account is brought current.
Insurance Processing & Patient Responsibility
We allow up to 60 days for your insurance company to process claims. Patients are responsible for providing any information requested by their insurance company to ensure timely processing.
​
It is also the patient’s responsibility to notify our office of any changes to insurance coverage, address, or contact information. Ultimately, patients are responsible for understanding their individual insurance benefits and coverage.
