How do I set up an account for billing?
When you arrive at Pinehurst Surgical Clinic for your first appointment, you will be directed to register with our Business Office registration staff. During this registration process, you will be assigned a unique account number and asked to provide information about yourself and your insurance coverage. The information you provide will be stored in your electronic medical record and our billing system.
Please arrive prepared to pay for any of your financial obligations at the time of your visit. Our staff is trained to submit the proper information to your insurance company, and we will make the billing process as easy as possible for you.
After you receive your medical care, Pinehurst Surgical Clinic will file your insurance for you. Our staff will collect any copayments, coinsurance and/or deductibles.
How will I know if my insurance company has paid?
We will send a reader-friendly statement by postal mail indicating your summary of charges after insurance has responded. It will show the charges by line item, the amount paid by your insurance carrier, and the amount you owe after insurance. As long as your account is current, you will receive statements from us until your bill is paid in full by you and/or your insurance company.
Information regarding our billing and collection policy is available for your information on the back of your statement. We accept cash, checks and credit cards. In addition, our patients have the option of paying their bill online.
What if I have more questions?
