| Office
Visits |
| |
| In
an effort to keep medical costs down, it is asked
that you pay for all office visits, lab, etc. at
the time services are rendered. You may use your
personal check or cash.
Charges for office visits and surgery are determined
by the time spent and vary with the severity of
the problem. These charges are competitive with
other area specialists. Fees reflect the level
of care you will receive and the degree of training
by the physician and staff.
|

| All
your medical records are confidential. Your medical
records or any part(s) of them will ONLY be released
if you give written authorization. Information regarding
your condition will not be given to you employer,
friends, or relatives without your permission. The
only exception to this is when required by law. |

| Insurance |

If
you have medical insurance, the office is anxious
to help you receive your maximum allowable benefits.
We accept a variety of different policies.
You must realize, however, that: |

Your

employer, and/or the insurance company. This
office is not a party to the contract. |

Insurance
companies pay according to what they set as
a contracted fee or as usual, customary, and
reasonable. Most insurance companies consider
the fees of this office usual, customary,
and reasonable. These insurance payments may
not always be the same as Dr. Pat Solis’
charges. If your insurance company on a contract
basis for a contracted fee makes payment,
you will only be responsible for co-payments,
co-insurance, and/or deductible amounts of
this fee. |

|
|
• |
Not
all services are a covered benefit in all
contracts. Some insurance companies arbitrarily
select certain services they will not cover.
