Payment is expected at the time of service. For clients with insurance, charges include deductibles and co-payments. For minor children, we expect fees to be paid by the parent who initiates the appointment.
For services provided by Ms. Frishtick we will submit charges to your insurer, and we will wait up to 90 days for your insurer to respond. After that time, any charges not paid by your insurer will become your responsibility.
Services provided by Dr. Butnik, once paid, can be itemized on a superbill that you can submit to your insurer.
Any charges that are your responsibility that remain unpaid for longer than 90 days may accrue interest at a rate of 18% per year. We reserve the right to charge you for sessions not canceled within 24 hours. Insurance typically does not reimburse for these missed appointments.
If your account has to be turned over to an attorney or collection agency because of nonpayment, you will be responsible for any and all costs associate with collection efforts.
