  Monthly Non-covered Benefits Fee

In order to continue to provide the best service we can, this office has instituted some features to improve accessibility and communication:

  • We limit the number of patients in the practice so that there are not a lot of people trying to get an appointment at the same time. This way, patients can usually be seen for an appointment the same day or the next day.
  • You can book your own appointments online.
  • Patients are able to reach our doctors by cellphone, e-mail or secure encrypted messaging 24/7. We also offer Virtual E-visits for evaluation and treatment of simple problems
  • Doctor visits are relaxed and unhurried and there is plenty of time to cover all your health concerns and questions.

However, this high level of service, convenience and accessibility is not covered or reimbursed by the insurance companies. Therefore, we have decided to charge an Monthly Non-covered Benefits Fee for all patients to pay for the availability of these services. The fee does not apply to your visits, which will be billed separately. This Monthly Non-covered Benefits Fee will not be reimbursed by your health plan,

The Monthly Non-covered Benefits Fee $30/month for an individual or $50/month for a family
Your credit card will be billed monthly for this amount.

If this presents a financial hardship we do have a limited number discounts available based on financial need.

Office Financial Policy

Roscoe Village Family Medicine is here to help you in all aspects of your medical care, including financial arrangements. You are personally responsible for the payment of all medical services furnished to you or your dependents. This includes, but is not limited to, all tests, as well as all procedures performed for you in this office (Emergency and Non-Emergency).

If you have medical insurance, this office will submit your insurance forms for payment from your insurance company and will credit such collections to your account. Any insurance co-payments are due and payable at the time of service.

If you do not have medical insurance, payment in full is expected to be made at the time services are rendered, unless special arrangements are made in advance.

This office will bill you for the remaining portion of your balance, if any, once all insurance claims and payments have been received. If you fail to pay your balance within 30 days after the statement was sent, we may assess a service charge of 1.5% of the remaining balance. If you do not make payments after 3 months of billing, your account may be sent to Collections.

You agree to pay all collection costs incurred, in an amount not to exceed fifty percent (50%) of the unpaid balance, should any unpaid balance be referred to a collection agency. In addition should any unpaid balance be referred to an attorney for litigation, all reasonable attorney fees and court costs shall be paid for by you as allowed by the court. A $30.00 service charge will be assessed on all Returned Checks.

This office tries its best to estimate what services your insurance company will cover, but we cannot guarantee that your insurance will pay for all services. It is your responsibility to know what services and benefits your medical insurance will cover. If it is determined that you are not eligible for coverage, you will be responsible for payment of all services provided.
