CANCELLATIONS AND NO-SHOW POLICY

Once your appointment is scheduled, you will be expected to pay for it unless you provide at least 48 business hours advance notice of cancellation. Business hours are considered the weekdays between Monday and Friday, during the hours of 8 am and 5 pm. This means that if you have an appointment on Monday at 4 pm, you must cancel by 4 pm the previous Thursday. If you do not provide at least 48 business hours’ notice, or fail to show for a scheduled appointment, you will be responsible for the full cost of the session. Please note, insurance companies will often not reimburse for missed sessions or sessions that are cancelled late.

 

INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT

If Dr. Figueroa is an in-network provider for your plan, we will bill your insurance directly. You will be responsible for a copay or coinsurance at the time of service. Dr. Figueroa is currently an in-network psychiatrist for most AETNA PPO plans.  We cannot guarantee that AETNA will cover the cost of the services provided and any remaining balance not paid by the health insurance (AETNA) will still be the patient's responsibility.

If Dr. Figueroa is an out-of-network provider for your plan, we will not bill your insurance directly. If you plan to use your insurance benefits, we will provide you with a standard receipt and form that can be submitted to your insurance company. We recommend you contact your insurance provider to inquire about your out of network benefits if insurance reimbursement is an important issue.

Please be aware that most insurance agreements require you to authorize us to provide a clinical diagnosis, and sometimes additional clinical information such as treatment plan or summary, or in rare cases, a copy of the entire record. We are required to submit this information on your behalf if you choose to obtain insurance reimbursement.
