PAYMENT
Payment is due at the time of service. Payment methods accepted: Cash, Check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Payment plans are available for programs and packages.
INSURANCE & MEDICARE
No insurance is accepted, processed or billed by BioHealth Ohio. If you would like to submit your visit to insurance, BioHealth will gladly print a receipt for payment received and services rendered at that time that you may submit on your own. All insurance matters are strictly between you and your insurance company and you understand that BioHealth does not speak to insurance companies on your behalf. Therefore, BioHealth does not fill out any specific paperwork or respond to any mail sent to their office. Since the office does not accept Medicare, no receipts from BioHealth Ohio may be submitted to Medicare at any time for any reason.
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY & BILLING
You acknowledge all financial responsibility for yourself (or guardian relationship) for services or products rendered under BioHealth Ohio.
OUTSTANDING ACCOUNT BALANCE
I understand that if there is any outstanding balance on my account for longer than 30 days, then I will be responsible for any expenses incurred in the collection of my account. Any accounts that become 45 days delinquent will be subject to a finance charge of 1.75% per month (21% APR). Any accounts that become more than 60 days delinquent will be referred for assignment to our collection agency. All additional charges equal to the cost of collection including agency and attorney fees and court costs incurred and permitted by laws governing these transactions will be added to the amount due.
RETURNED CHECKS
There is a $35 fee for returned checks for non-sufficient funds.
CANCELLATIONS / NO CALL NO SHOWS
BioHealthOhio tries to be flexible and accommodating regarding any needs to change an appointment, but cancellations without at least a 24-hour notice and no-call/no-shows are subject to a $95 fee that must be paid before another appointment will be put on the schedule. For recurring instances, you may be required to pay in full prior to your visit. If the problem persists, patients could be dismissed from the practice.
LATE ARRIVALS
In order for Dr. Siegel and his staff to give his best care to all patients, they must allow enough time to complete the needed services and recommendations for each appointment. Therefore, they must adhere to the appointment times as scheduled. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late, your appointment will need to be rescheduled and is subject to a $95 fee. We still have to adhere to our late policy regardless of traffic or weather situations.
SUPPLEMENT TESTING
Within your regular Toxicology visit, Dr. Siegel will only advise on dosages of nutritional supplements that he has recommended. Patients cannot bring in supplements that they have purchased on their own or from another practitioner for Dr. Siegel to test during a Toxicology visit. If you wish to have any additional supplements tested, you must schedule a separate visit for that specific service to be performed at an additional cost.
CELL PHONES
In order to protect the testing vials, all cell phones must be completely POWERED OFF before entering Dr. Siegel’s office. Airplane mode, silent and vibrate are not acceptable options alternatives.
QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR TREATMENT PLAN
During your scheduled appointments you are encouraged to ask questions about your treatments. However, if after your appointment you have questions or symptoms pertaining to your care at BioHealth Ohio, you can contact the office by an online portal via the website. If there is a need for longer discussions regarding new symptoms or questions, there will be a fee for additional time or Dr. Siegel may ask that you schedule a follow-up appointment. Dr. Siegel does not directly answer phone calls. Staff is fully trained to answer most of your questions.
If you need to relay information to Dr. Siegel, patients will complete the patient communication form found on the website. It is understood that BioHealth Ohio does their best to get an answer to our patient’s as quick as possible (within 48 business hours), however, most the time questions are answered in between appointments.
