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., Alexander Sonesson, D.M.D., at Reston Advanced Oral & Cosmetic Facial Surgery.

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.
3. Insurance claims not paid by your dental insurance company within sixty (60) days from the date of our filing will then roll over to the Responsible Party on the account.

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.

Please Note:

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, Cash, Certified Check, Personal Checks ($500.00 or less).
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 Reston Advanced Oral & Cosmetic Facial Surgery. 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 hereby acknowledge that a copy of the patient Notice of Privacy Practices has been made available to me. I have been given the opportunity to ask any questions I may have regarding this Notice.

The release of information will remain in effect until terminated by me in writing.

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.

Furthermore, I authorize the taking of all x-rays required as necessary part of this examination. In addition, if medically necessary, I authorize the release of any information acquired in the course of my examination and treatment to my other doctors and/or insurance carriers.
