Insurance & Financial
Medical Insurance
Cardiology Consultants accepts most insurances. If
you have a question about whether Cardiology
Consultants is a member of the physician panel that
provides care for your insurance plan, please ask at
the time that you make your first appointment. Since
your account is ultimately your responsibility, it
is to your benefit to understand your insurance. You
otherwise may be responsible for higher co-pay than
was anticipated.
At the time of your appointment, we will ask you for
your insurance card. In the event that your
insurance information changes during the year,
kindly notify us when you come to the office. If any
of your personal information, such as address or
phone number changes during the year, please notify
our receptionist when you check in.
We will file insurance claims (primary or
supplemental) as a courtesy to you. If you are a
member of an HMO or PPO, your insurance company may
require that you have a referral form from your
primary care physician before you are seen. If this
form is required, it must be presented at the time
of service.
Payment Options
Payments can be made in person, by mail or by
telephone. We accept various methods of payment,
including cash, personal checks, money orders, Visa,
MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
Short-term payment plans are available in special
circumstances. Our experienced business office
personnel will be happy to discuss your insurance
and payment needs. You are responsible for payment
at the time of service for the procedures performed
unless prior arrangements have been made. Business
Services staff are available to assist you between
the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday by calling (850) 475-3700. Out-of-town
patients may call our toll free number at (888)
452-2067.
Deductibles, Co-Pays and Co-Insurance
Payment of unmet deductibles, co-pays and
co-insurance amounts is expected at the time of
service.
Non-Insured Patients
There are programs available for patients whom are
uninsured or underinsured. Please contact the
Financial Counselor at one of our office locations,
or a Patient Account Specialist at our Central
Business Office (850) 475-3700 for more information.
