START UP COSTS

Does anyone know what Dr. Rowitz start up fees are??

I don't know for sure but I've heard that we'll have to pay $300 for the psy. test. Read my profile to find out the order of things and about any money you'll have to pay etc.

May 11, 2005 Today I had the seminar w/Dr. Rowitz's.. They did give out a sheet with the steps we would be taking. Step 1) Insurance information (patient information sheet and copy of insurance card) will be collected at information seminar. Step 2) Insurance benefits will be verified by the practice, including payment percentages and/or allowable. Insurance typically payss for a portion of the charge for the surgery, and the patient has responsibility for the balance. If the practice participates with the insurance comnpany, then the insurance company's allowed amount will be accepted. Step 3) Letters detailing insurance and patient responsibility, as well as any outstanding debt owed to AnMed Health, will be returned to patient by U.S. mail. Step 4) Practice will call patient to schedule initial appointment. Step 5) Patient is seen at the practice to be evaluated for surgery. If patient qulifies for surgery, practice begins pre-sertification. Step 6) If patient qulifies for surgery, balances owed by patient (insurance co-payments and deductibles, and other outstanding balances with AnMed Health) will be paid before surgery is scheduled. Step 7) After pre-certification is obtained and payments are submitted, surgery is scheduled.
