PATIENT FINANCIAL AGREEMENT

Nebraska Pulmonary Specialties, LLC (NPS) participates with most insurance carriers. We recommend you contact your insurance carrier for specific coverage details.

As a courtesy, we will file all insurance claims on your behalf as long as we have a current insurance card copy and complete information on file. Your insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company, payment to us for services you receive is your responsibility. By providing your insurance or Medicare information you are authorizing NPS to receive payment for services provided to you. You are also authorizing medical information to be released to determine benefits payable for related services.

We are unable to schedule appointments for accounts that have a past due balance. Delinquent accounts are any patient balance remaining after three statements have been mailed and failing to fulfill your financial agreement with the billing department. Accounts will be turned to an outside collection agency after three statements.

Liability and Workers Compensation claims will be filed if complete information is provided; the minimum information required is Social Security number, date of birth, claim number, case worker/contact person, claim address, phone number, and injury date. We do not contract with Liability or Workers Compensation Insurance companies therefore; you will receive a monthly statement. It is your responsibility to be in contact with your carrier to insure prompt payment is received to prevent your account from becoming delinquent. Accounts are delinquent after three statements and unpaid balances will be sent to our collection agency.
