PATIENT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SERVICES
The providers and staff of The Virginia Hospital Center Physician Group are committed to providing you with the best possible care and to help you receive your maximum allowable insurance benefits. We are here to help and are happy to answer any questions you may have about billing for our services. While the filing of insurance claims for contracted insurance carriers is our obligation, all fees are ultimately your responsibility. We recommend that you be completely familiar with your individual coverage, benefits, limitations, and exclusions. All questions in this regard should be addressed to your insurance carrier directly.
Please be aware of the following important financial responsibilities:
• It is your responsibility to keep all insurance and demographic information up to date.
• You must make all co-payments at the time of your visit, as well as payments for any deductibles, co-insurance, or non-covered services.
• If referral is required for your visit, it is your sole responsibility to arrive for your appointment with your required referral. If you do not have the required referral at the time of your appointment, you will be required to pay the full appointment fee at the time of service.
• If you do not come to your appointment and have not cancelled or rescheduled, we will charge a No Show Fee of $40. If you cancel or reschedule an appointment with less than 24 hours notice prior to the scheduled appointment time, we will charge a Late Cancellation fee of $25.
• If you do not have insurance or receive treatment for a non-covered service, you must pay for services in full at the time of the visit. In most cases, we are able to give you a discount for payment given in full at the time of service.
• You may pay in the form of cash, money order, check and credit card in most cases. We will assess a fee of $30.00 for returned checks.
• If your account becomes delinquent, we will submit the account to our attorneys, at which time you will be responsible for all collection costs including attorney fees, court costs, and all civil penalties as provided by the Code of Virginia.

In Medicare assigned cases, the physician or supplier agrees to accept the charge determination of the Medicare carrier as the full charge, and the patient is responsible only for the deductible, coinsurance and non-covered services. Coinsurance and the deductible are based upon the charge determination of the Medicare carrier. This assignment will remain in effect until revoked by me in writing.
I understand that I am financially responsible for the total charges for services rendered which may include non-covered services. I agree that all amounts are due upon request and are payable to Virginia Hospital Center Physician Group.
