INSURANCE
As a COURTESY to our patients we bill all insurance. We are participating with a large number of insurance plans but it is up to you to check your benefits and ensure we are in network with your insurer. As insurance plans can vary greatly, there are some things that your insurance may deem non-covered. If your insurance determines a service to be non-covered, you will be responsible for the charges. Payment is due upon receipt of your statement. You, the patient, are responsible for providing proof of insurance and photo ID at the time of service.
Babson & Associates Primary Care offer special cash pay programs that are separate from the general family practice clinic. These programs are Medication-assisted treatment program (Suboxone); Immigration physicals for US Citizenship and travel vaccines.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT
