FEES
Our charges for services, including office
visits and surgery, are based upon the severity of your
illness as well as time spent treating you. Kearney Clinic
attempts to keep charges at the lowest possible level,
while still maintaining quality care. There is a constant
effort to control costs, and one major contribution to
this cause can be made by the patient; we request and
encourage payment for office care when services are provided.
If you are unable to pay when services are provided, the
credit department can set up a mutually agreed payment
arrangement to take care of your medical bill. |

PAYMENT
A statement will be sent to you monthly. Regardless of your
medical insurance coverage, we rely on you for settling your
account. You are ultimately responsible for all clinic and hospital
fees relating to your care. Your health insurance is an agreement
between you and your health insurance carrier. Re-billing is
expensive, and is not part of our general planned cost. An additional
late charge of 16 percent per annum, beginning after 60 days
will be assessed if re-billing is necessary. We do accept Visa,
Master Card, Discover and American Express cards for your convenience.
You may also arrange with the credit department a payment arrangement
through one of the four cards listed above.
