Please read the following Financial & Insurance Policy in regards
to treatment rendered by Craig E. Vigliante, M.D., D.M.D., Michael T. Gocke,
D.D.S., and Michael P. McAdams, D.D.S., at Virginia Advanced Surgical Arts,
PLLC.
Our Courtesy Service to You Includes:
1. Verifying your dental insurance to advise you of estimated benefits
available to you. PLEASE NOTE: Verification of benefits does not guarantee
payment by your insurance company. Therefore, you should also verify and
understand your insurance benefits.
2. Filing your dental insurance with your dental insurance carrier.
Our Expectations of You the Patient or Guarantor:
1. Co-payments for treatment rendered are due the day the service is delivered.
2. Professional service fees are charged to the patient, NOT YOUR INSURANCE
COMPANY. Your insurance company has no obligation to pay for our services;
your insurance company’s obligation is to you, the policy holder.
You are responsible for payment of your account within the time limits
of our financial policy. We will try to assist you with any problems concerning
your insurance.
Cancellation & No-Show Policy:
Our goal is to provide quality individualized care in a timely manner.
Late cancellations and No-Shows (includes arriving more than 15 minutes
late) create inconvenience and prevent scheduling of other patients who
need access to medical care in a timely manner. Patients who do not show
up for their surgical appointment or provide less than 48 hours in advance
cancellation notice will be subject to a $500.00 NO SHOW fee. This fee
will not be submitted to insurance. It is your responsibility and must
be paid in full.
1. We will do our best to estimate what your insurance will pay for services.
However, this is an estimate. Some plans base an amount of benefit on a
schedule of fees arbitrarily developed by insurance companies. For this
reason, you may receive a lower percentage of the reimbursement indicated
in your dental plan. For example, if your plan states that it will pay
80% of the usual and customary cost per procedure, it means 80% of the
fee determined by the insurance company, and not the actual fee charge
by our practice. The patient is ultimately responsible for what the insurance
does not cover, if applicable. If you have any questions, please feel free
to ask one of our office administrators.
2. All accounts over ninety (90) days will be considered past due.
3. Past due accounts are subject to eighteen percent APR (18%) of 1.5
monthly finance charges.
4. Past due accounts may be referred to our collection agency for collection.
In the event of default on our account, you will be responsible for thirty-three
and one-third percent (33-1/3 %) attorney collection fee as well as any
and all collection agency charges.
5. This office will accept the following instruments of payment for services
rendered: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Cash, Certified
Check, Personal Checks ($500.00 or less) and CareCredit.
6. Personal checks that are returned due to “insufficient funds”
are subject to a $50.00 service fee.
I have read and understand the Financial Policy and Insurance Policy for
Virginia Advanced Surgical Arts, PLLC. I agree to be responsible for payment
and all terms for services rendered on my behalf or that of my dependents.
As a patient, please be advised that in accordance with Section 32.1-45.1
of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, that if the provision of health
care services to the patient exposes any person employed by or under the
direction and control of this facility or any other healthcare provider,
to the patient's body fluids in a manner which may transmit immunodeficiency
virus or HIV or Hepatitis B or C viruses, then the patient will be deemed
to have consented to testing for infection with HIV or Hepatitis B or C
viruses, and the release of such test results to the person(s) exposed.

I acknowledge and agree that this requirement shall be an express condition
to the Practice’s willingness to accept me as a patient, and that
my failure to either meet these conditions or failure of the Health Net/Tricare/Champus
healthcare contractor to accept my written for a waiver may result in the
Practice’s unwillingness to treat me. I understand that the Practice
may pursue any other remedies available to it under applicable law based
upon errors or omissions in this form, or any failure to meet the above
conditions. Finally, I agree that such actions by the Practice shall not
result in my abandonment as a patient, and that the Practice may waive
these requirements for certain Health Net/Tricare/Champus healthcare programs,
in the Practice’s sole discretion.
