Insurance companies and employers often require physicians to complete forms for leave of absence from work or for disability. When these forms are required, please forward them to our office as soon as you receive them. Due to the complexity of the form, the information required and physician signatures, please allow the office 7-10 working days to complete these forms

Getting a referral to see a specialist is often required by insurance companies. Before scheduling your appointment, check with your insurance company to see if a referral is required. If so, you will need to contact your primary care physician to get a referral. At the time of your appointment, if a referral is required and has not been received in our office, you will be asked to sign a Missing Referral Form before being treated by your physician. This states that if your insurance does not pay because of a missing referral, the bill becomes your responsibility.

Current patient information is required to ensure accurate billing to your insurance company. Please let us know if your address, phone number or insurance has changed. Your insurance company will be billed for all charges that you incur. Deductibles and co-pays are your responsibility and should be paid at the time of your visit. You will receive a statement letting you know of any remaining balance that is your responsibility after your insurance has paid.

Our Business Office is happy to assist you with insurance questions or questions about your bill. You may call them directly at 859-426-4041, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
