A Message to Our Patients 

We are pleased that you have chosen Dermatology Associates of Indiana to provide your care. It is important that our patients are aware of the financial policies of our practice, and we encourage you to discuss any questions you may have.

We will file a claim promptly to your primary insurance company for you, provided that you have a current copy of your insurance card with the correct mailing address on it.  We cannot guarantee payment of your claim.  If your insurance company pays only a portion of the bill or rejects your claim, your insurance should send an explanation to you, the policyholder.  Reduction or rejection of the claim does not relieve you of your financial obligation. 

If you do not have health insurance, payment is expected at the time of your visit, unless prior arrangements are made with our Patient Accounts Representatives who can be reached at (317) 338-9391.  We accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover.  All cosmetic procedures must be paid in full at time of visit.  Insurance claims will not be filed for cosmetic procedures.

Co-Pays:
Co-Payment is due at the time of service.

Referrals:
There are many insurance companies that now require you to have an authorization number or referral form from your Primary Care Physician in order to see a specialist.  We ask that you please obtain this from your Primary Care Physician prior to your visit and bring it to the appointment.

Blue Shield/Anthem:
We are Preferred Providers of Blue Shield/Anthem.  If you have this coverage, we will file a claim with them for office visits as well as other services (excluded are cosmetic procedures).  The patient will be responsible for any deductibles, co-insurance, and non-covered services.

Medicare:
We are participating physicians with Medicare.  Charges for services rendered to Medicare patients will be filed with the Indiana carrier.  Medicare patients are responsible for the deductible, 20% co-insurance and any non-covered services.

Medicaid:
We are no longer Medicaid providers.  Patients who are covered by Medicaid must seek medical care by an Indiana Medicaid provider.

Treatment of Minors:
We realize that many families are in a state of change.  In many of these families the question of who is financially responsible for the child’s care is complicated.  In the case of either sole legal custody or joint legal custody arrangements, the parent who presents the child for treatment will be considered the financially responsible party for the minor child. 

Account Balances and Returned Checks:
If a check is returned to us for insufficient funds, an additional $20.00 fee will be applied to your account.  Unless payment is received within 2 weeks of the insufficient funds notice, your account will be referred to our collection agency with an additional collection fee attached.  As a courtesy, our office will mail out monthly statements of balances due.  Accounts with a balance due after 90 days will be considered delinquent and may be sent to a collection agency with an additional collection fee attached.

Cosmetic Procedures:
Cosmetic procedures must be paid at the time of service.  We do not file claims to your insurance for cosmetic procedures.  There will be a $100 charge for all cosmetic appointments that are not cancelled 24 hours prior to the scheduled time.

Cancelled Appointments:                                                                                                        There will be a $30 charge for all Medical appointments and a $100 charge for all Surgery appointments that are not cancelled 24 hours prior to the scheduled time.
