EmergeOrtho Payment and Billing Procedures

Payment Policies

You are responsible for all co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles at the time of service. You are responsible for charges not processed by your insurance carrier. In the event that you have an unpaid balance from your insurance company, you will receive a statement from our office clearly identifying insurance payments and your balance due.

Payment in full is expected when you receive your statement. Please contact our Billing Department if you need to discuss payment arrangements on your unpaid balances. Partial payments must be approved by the Billing Department to keep your account from being transferred to external collections.

Should you default on your balance, EmergeOrtho may not accept new diagnoses and you will be responsible for all incurred services prior to re-establishment as a patient. For your convenience, EmergeOrtho offers credit card on file.

No Insurance (Self-Pay)

Sometimes patients want to know if they can receive orthopedic care without insurance. The answer is yes; however, payment is required at the time services are rendered (unless other arrangements have been made in advance). An initial down payment of $250 is expected and will be required.

Workers’ Compensation

If you have an accident or are injured at work, please contact your employer and notify them of the injury. We must receive authorization from your employer prior to scheduling an appointment. Please contact our Workers’ Compensation Department and ask to speak with the Worker’s Compensation Liaison.

Return Check Fees

A $25 fee will be added to your account for any returned check.

Bundled Payments Program
