It is your responsibility to make sure your account is settled no later than 90 days from the service date.

 In the event an account becomes over 90 days delinquent, I understand that Dr. Stephen M. Stein is entitled to send my account to an outside collection agency. If this action is necessary, I agree to pay all additional collection fees, in addition to my account balance. It is my responsibility to follow up with my insurance to make sure payment has been made to Dr. Stein within the stated time frame.

Any monies owed are due upon receipt. We invite you to discuss with us any questions you may have regarding our fees.
