Insurance Information
Thank you for choosing Allentown Family Foot Care as your podiatric health provider. We are committed to providing you with the highest quality of care.
We realize that insurance coverage can be difficult to understand, when scheduling an appointment you will be asked for your insurance information, so please have your information readily available. We participate in many managed care plans. Please do not hesitate to ask us about one you are involved in or considering.
Full payment is due at the time of services. Co-payments and deductibles are due at the time of services for patients with insurance.
We accept Cash, Personal Checks, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover.
There is a 3% fee charged on credit card transactions. There are no fees charged for debit, cash, or check transactions.
Referral Policy:
Insurance referral forms provided by your family practitioner are required at the time of your visit. You will need to reschedule if you do not have this information.
Financial Policy:
Payment of services not covered by your insurance plan such as visits, deductibles and/or co-pays are required to be paid at the time of your visit. Our staff is available to answer your questions regarding this.
Insurance Benefits:
Those with insurance benefits please remember that YOUR insurance contract is between YOU, YOUR EMPLOYER and the INSURANCE COMPANY. YOU are responsible for payment regardless of any arbitrary determination by your insurance company of what is usual and customary. If insurance payment is not received within 45 days, then the entire amount becomes due and payable by you immediately. A Pre determination is NOT a guarantee of payment.
Minor Patients:
The adult who accompanies a minor (and the minor’s parents or guardians) are responsible for full payment at the time of service.
Collection Costs:
If your account is referred for collection (after 60 days of non-payment) you will be responsible for collection costs in the amount of 30% of the outstanding balance and all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fee.
