BILLING & INSURANCE
Primary and Sub-Specialty Care
Our primary goal as providers of health care services to your children is to deliver outstanding clinical care and service. Depending on your insurance plan, there may be an additional fee for After Hours Care.
We strive to serve our patients efficiently and effectively. In order to achieve our goals, we request that each patient do their part in cooperating and adhering to the policies of our practice regarding insurance and payment.
FULL PAYMENT FOR ALL COPAYS, DEDUCTIBLES AND NON-COVERED SERVICES ARE EXPECTED AT THE TIME OF YOUR APPOINTMENT.
ALL SERVICES WILL BE BILLED TO YOUR INSURANCE. THE PATIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CHARGES APPLIED TO THEIR COPAY, DEDUCTIBLE AND NON-COVERED SERVICES BY THEIR INSURANCE.
We participate with most major insurance companies, including Florida Medicaid and Healthy Kids programs. However, each company offers many different plans. Pediatric Associates may not participate in each and every one.
We recommend that you contact your insurance company, prior to making your appointment:
- To verify that we are a participating provider on your specific plan.
- To verify if your plan requires you to select a Primary Care Provider (PCP). If so, verify your Pediatric Associates Physician is the assigned PCP.
- To verify your co-payment for primary care and specialty services.
- To verify if you have a deductible and request an estimate regarding your out-of-pocket costs for the office visit.
Please contact our Billing Department if you have any other questions at 4072491234.
