Updated Financial Policy, effective 9/1/2010

Recent changes to employer-sponsored health coverage have resulted in increased family contributions in the form of higher co-payments and large yearly deductibles.  With these changes in mind, Chapel Hill Pediatrics has implemented policies to insure we can continue to provide quality medical care and remain fiscally sound for all our families.

Please be assured that we make every effort to keep costs low while maintaining a high level of professional care.  Following is a reminder of our practice policies regarding payment for services:

• Families who must meet yearly deductibles will be required to make a partial payment at the time of service.  A claim will be generated to your insurance company so that this amount can be credited to your deductible.  Should you have extraordinary financial pressures, we will assist you with a payment plan, agreed to in writing with our billing department, prior to services being rendered.
• A minimum payment of $75.00 will be required that day for the cost of services.
• If you participate with a high-deductible health plan, we require a copy of the health savings account debit/credit card or a personal debit/credit card to remain on file.  There are addenda to this financial policy, which are signed separately.
• No balances over $300.00 can be carried on a family account.
• Fees not paid at the time of service will result in additional billing charges added to your account.
• For your convenience, we accept Visa, Mastercard, and Discover, in addition to cash and checks.

We know you have choices when it comes to selecting a physician for your family and we sincerely appreciate your decision to allow us to participate in your child's health care needs.  We value you as a patient of our practice and we are dedicated to providing you with unequaled quality health care.  If at any time you feel the need to discuss your child's health or the operations of our practice, please do not hesitate to contact our practice manager or our billing department.
