Billing Policy

Billing Policy

HILLTOP MEDICAL CLINIC offers primary and some secondary insurance billing as a courtesy to our patients.

Our policies are as follows:

  • We will bill your primary insurance and some secondary insurance companies.
  • Services performed outside of HMC will bill you separately.
  • HMC does not bill third party claims (motor vehicle accidents, injuries sustained while shopping, homeowners liability claims, etc.).  Payment is expected at the time of service and a billing/receipt will be issued to you for billing purposes.
  • Insurance co-payments and deductible amounts are required at the time of service.
  • Billing insurance does not relieve you of the responsibility for your bill.
  • You will receive monthly statements so you will be aware of any outstanding balance on your account.
  • We allow 60 days from the date of service for ALL insurances to respond.  Thereafter, you will be expected to pay the balance.
  • Patients discovered to not have insurance or those with deductibles are expected to pay the balance immediately.  You cannot be seen at the Clinic until the debt is paid.
  • Hilltop Medical Clinic charges a $20.00 fee for any returned check or declined POST DATED credit card.
  • Our office cannot follow up on all delinquent insurance claims.  It is recommended that YOU please call your insurance company and check on the status of the claim within 30-45 days.

WAIVER OF CONFIDENTIALITY: If the account is submitted to an attorney or collection agency, goes to court or is reported to a credit reporting agency, the fact that you received treatment here may become a matter of public record.

I understand that I am financially responsible to Hilltop Medical Clinic for charges not covered by this assignment.
