Patient Billing |
There are many reasons why you may receive a bill from Boynton
Health Service:
- we may need updated or additional insurance information from
you
- you may need to file proof of full time student status, or
other information with your insurance carrier
- we may still be waiting for your insurance company to
respond to our claims
|
|
IMPORTANT: If you have received a bill and you do not know why, please
call Boynton's Patient Accounting office at

Billing Processes and Policies |
|
Boynton patients are asked to sign a general release statement each
year when they are seen at Boynton Health Service. The following is
a brief description on billing processes and policies from the
statement: |
- It is your responsibility to make sure Boynton Health
Service has current hospitalization insurance information on
file. We will forward a claim for all services rendered to your
insurance company, for payment by the company directly to us,
after each visit.
|
- For eligible students, Student Service Fee benefits will be
applied after the claim is resolved. Failure to fulfill
financial obligations will result in a HOLD on academic records
and/or the account will be transferred to Student Accounts
Receivable for collection (be advised that Student Accounts
Receivable may charge billing fees, late fees and
collection fees).
|
- You are responsible to follow up with your insurance company
and for payment of your account regardless of insurance
coverage.
- We do not accept the responsibility for collecting your
insurance claim or negotiating a settlement on disputed claims.
Payment is due within 45 days from the date the claim is
submitted by our office.
|
- IMPORTANT:
Delayed payment by your insurance carrier is not a valid
reason for delayed payment to the clinic. Boynton Health Service
reserves the right to withdraw care from patients if the
patient/responsible person does not fulfill their financial
obligation.
