Financial Assistance Policy
If Center for Advanced GI believes that you have health insurance and/or HMO coverage(s) that may cover some or all of the Services, Center for Advanced GI may initiate contact with them to determine your cost-sharing responsibilities for Center for Advanced GI’s bill. You may contact them directly as well for additional information concerning your cost-sharing responsibilities. If Center for Advanced GI determines that you have cost-sharing responsibilities for Center for Advanced GI’s bill, in accordance with Center for Advanced GI’s financial assistance policies, you will be required to pay your cost-sharing responsibilities in full on or before the date that Services are provided. Center for Advanced GI’s financial assistance policies are that if you are unable to pay your cost-sharing responsibilities in full on or before the date that Services are provided, because you believe you are medically indigent or you are not covered by any health insurance or HMO, then upon request Center for Advanced GI, in its sole discretion, may offer you a discount on the amount due and/or offer a payment plan. Any such discount is considered by Center for Advanced GI to be “charity care.” There is no formal application process for obtaining “charity care” at Center for Advanced GI. Center for Advanced GI’s standard collection policy is to produce and send one or more bills to patients for their cost sharing amount.
