PETE GARCIA M.D.

GENERAL VASCULAR
&
MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY

Thank you for choosing this office for your surgical needs. We are committed to providing you with the best possible care, and will help you receive your maximum allowable insurance benefits. However, we need your assistance and your understanding of our payment policy. The insurance carrier is a contract between you, your employer and your insurance company. It is in your best interest to know and understand your plan benefits, as well as any deductible and co-payment amounts that you are responsible for paying. Not all services are covered by all contracts.

We participate and accept assignment from most major payors, which means covered charges, will be paid directly to us. If we do not participate in your insurance plan but you have out-of-network benefits, you may still choose to be seen by our practice. As a courtesy to you, we will file a claim with your insurance carrier on your behalf. Any portion not paid by the insurance carrier balance will be billed to you once we have received payment or notification from your insurance carrier.

Due to current federal and insurance regulations, all co-payments and co-insurance are collected at time of service. We accept cash or checks. We encourage you to contact us promptly for assistance in the management of your account; we will work with you to develop a payment plan when appropriate. We are here to help you and will be happy to answer any questions you may have about your treatment or insurance coverage.
