Insurance And Fees

INSURANCE

Redmont Pediatrics accepts most major insurances including Alabama Medicaid. Please contact your insurance company to confirm we are participants within your insurance policy prior to your appointment. The child's parent/guardian is responsible for providing current, active insurance information to us for each visit, and please contact us with updates if there are changes in your insurance coverage or policy.

Most insurance companies allow nine well check-ups between birth and the age of two. Beginning at age two, most insurances allow one wellness visit each year to the age of seven. Then wellness visits are allowed once every 1-2 years for ages seven and above, depending upon your employer's contract with the insurance provider. You need to be aware of your coverage before scheduling a well check-up for your child.

Parents of newborns have 30 days from the date of birth to add the new baby. Depending upon your human resources department's requirements, you can either go online or fill  out the necessary paperwork to add the newborn with as much information as is available. Submit the application to your employer and/or insurance company when you arrive home from the hospital. A copy of the birth certificate and the baby's Social Security number are required to complete the insurance application; however, if you wait until you have both of these items to start the process of adding the baby, it may exceed the 30 day time limit constraint.

FEES & FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

Co-payments, non-covered services and any outstanding balances are due prior to being seen at each office visit.  We accept American Express, Discover , Mastercard, Visa, cash and checks as forms of payment. If a check is returned, there is a $35.00 charge assessed to your account to cover the NSF fee charged to Redmont Pediatrics by the bank.

We ask for 48 hours notice to complete blue forms, school forms, camp forms and medication forms, at a cost of $5.00 each. FMLA forms also require a 48 hour notice before pick-up and are completed for a charge of $25.00.

Our policy of calling the number you provide to us 24 hours prior to a wellness visit gives you the opportunity to cancel or reschedule these appointments. If we do not hear from you the day before the visit and you are unable to keep the appointment, you may be assessed a $25.00 charge for a non-cancellation fee.

Divorced/Separated Parents Policy

At Redmont Pediatric Associates, P.C., our goal is to partner with parents for healthy kids. We appreciate that child(ren) with divorced or separated parents may present unique challenges, and we require parents to work with us through those challenges. This policy was developed to avoid any misunderstandings going forward.

The physicians, medical assistants, nurses, office and billing staff will NOT be put in the middle of domestic issues or disagreements over the phone or in the office. Please make decisions regarding appointments, vaccinations and/or any office procedures prior to visiting our practice.
Only in situations where there is a documented court order will one parent be denied access to the minor's health record or visits at the office. Redmont Pediatric Associates, P.C. must have a copy of the court order on file in the minor's electronic medical record. It is the responsibility of each parent to communicate with each other about patient care, office visit dates and any other pertinent information relevant to the patient. It is NOT the responsibility of Redmont Pediatrics Associates, P.C. to communicate visit information to each custodial parent separately.
Our physicians will NOT call the other parent prior to an appointment to gain consent regarding appointments scheduled, nor will they take a call from the other parent following an appointment. We will NOT restrict parental involvement with patient healthcare, unless authorized by law. We also will NOT duplicate information delivery unless directed by law. We will send reminders of upcoming appointments by text and/or phone call. We can send this reminder to only the primary phone number listed on the patient account. The parent or guardian that completes and signs our new patient packet will be the chart guarantor and will therefore receive these reminders.
All copays, deductibles, coinsurances and any other fees are DUE AT THE TIME OF THE VISIT and are the responsibility of the parent who is accompanying the patient to the appointment. If there is an arrangement between the parents about split payments, it is the responsibility of the parent attending the appointment to collect it from the other parent so that it can be paid AT THE TIME OF THE VISIT.

Should the issues that come between parents become disruptive to our practice or there is a non-compliance with this policy, we reserve the right to dismiss the family from our practice.
