Payment Policies
Clinton Medical will file your insurance for you. However, to do this as accurately as possible, we must review your current insurance card at each visit. If you participate in a managed care program, Clinton Medical Clinic or the name of a physician in the group must appear on the card. If not listed, you will be given the choice of paying for the visit or rescheduling your appointment. All copayments will be collected at the time of registration and insurance will be filed daily by the practice. If you do not have insurance which will cover treatment by our providers, payment is expected at the time of service. We accept payment by cash, check, debit card, Visa, Mastercard or Discover. Upon posting of insurance payments, any additional copays, coinsurance or deductibles, will become the patient’s responsibility. Clinton Medical uses family billing and statements are mailed on a monthly basis. Outstanding balances are due within 30 days.
