Patients

Payment Policy

Our physicians participate with most insurance carriers. Patients will be responsible for paying their insurance co-payments, deductibles and any self pay balances at the time of their visit. Payment arrangements can be made by contacting the office prior to your visit or at the time of your appointment.

Treatment Authorizations/Referrals

Many insurance carriers require a treatment authorization prior to your being seen by one of our Orthopedists. These authorizations/referrals must be completed by your Primary Care Physician prior to your visit with us. If you do not have an authorization from your insurance carrier you cannot be seen until one is obtained.

Hospital Care

Our physicians perform services at both Eastern Maine Medical Center and St. Joseph's Hospital in Bangor. When you receive care in the hospital, the bill for your doctor's services will be separate from the bill you receive from the hospital.

Medical Records

We maintain a complete medical record on each patient. All information contained in your medical record is treated as confidential material and will only be released to your treating and referring physician. A signed written release must be completed if you want your medical information sent any other parties.
