This occurs when you check out at the end of the appointment. Proof of Insurance Please be sure to bring your child's insurance ID card with you to each visit. If you have received a new card in the mail since your last visit, please let our front office staff know. If you do not have current insurance information with you and we are not able to verify eligibility for your child, you will be asked to pay for services at the time they are rendered. It is your responsibility to provide our office with any changes in insurance. Insurance companies have a window of time in which we are allowed to file claims. If we do not receive correct insurance information for your child within this time frame, your insurance company will deny the claim and the balance will be your responsibility. SECONDARY INSURANCE: Please make sure that we know if your child has a secondary insurance policy. Co-Payments If your insurance policy specifies that you have a co-payment for office visits, we will collect this amount during the check-in process. This must be paid on the date of service. Newborns Please be sure to add your newborn to your insurance policy within at least 30 days of birth. Contact the Mountain Area Pediatrics Insurance & Billing Department as soon as your newborn is active on the policy. Until this takes place, you may receive a bill for any visits that have occurred since the date of birth. Once Mountain Area Pediatrics receives the active policy information, we will bill these claims to your insurance company.
