We are pleased that you have chosen our physicians to provide care for you. Having
an informed knowledge of our billing practices will assist you and us in the proper
handling of your medical insurance claims.
Please know your insurance plan. Possession of an insurance card does not mean that
all services will be covered or paid by your insurance carrier. It is your responsibility
to know the amount of your Deductible, Co-payment, Co-insurance and Non-covered
expenses, so you can be prepared financially. It is your responsibility to provide
us with a Referral Form prior to service, if your insurance plan requires such.
Our Billing Department will submit your medical claim to your insurance carrier(s)
with the information you provide us at registration. Please be sure to provide us
with your current insurance card to ensure proper identification numbers, group
numbers and claims filing addresses.
ASA accepts assignment of benefits and maintains an active follow up program of
claim resolution with all health insurance carriers. If your insurance claim remains
unpaid after thirty (30) days, we ask that you please contact your insurance carrier
for payment status. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to pay for all services
in a timely fashion.
Please know that Co-Payments, Co-insurance and/or Deductibles are due at the time
of service. Any balance remaining after your insurance company benefits are paid
is your responsibility and due at that time. You can remit your payment using the
following options:
- Cash
- Personal Check
- Money Order
- Mastercard, Visa, Discover
It is expected that your account balance be paid in full within thirty (30) days
of receiving a Balance Due statement from our office. For those in need of assistance
in resolving their outstanding balance greater than $500, a monthly payment plan
may be available. In general, these payment plans consist of three (3) equal, consistent
monthly payments. If you require this consideration, please contact Debbie in Patient
Accounts at (847) 483-9800. Debbie will provide assistance in your application for
a payment schedule.
We are sensitive to the financial needs of each of our patients. We participate
in most PPO’s, HMO’s and Medicare. Our Billing Department is available to work with
you on an individual basis to assist you in resolving your account. We appreciate
the opportunity to care for you and your family.
