CANCELLATION(S): Should you need to or decide to cancel your initial appointment
with Dr. Burkhart or any follow-up appointments you have scheduled, the courtesy
of a 72-hour notice is appreciated.  There will be no charge for appointments
canceled 48 hours or more in advance. Late cancellation and no-show fees cannot
be billed to your insurance company.  Please make every effort to keep your
appointment(s). While there are other patients scheduled and on a waiting list
to be moved up to fill cancelled appointments, 48 hours is usually required for
them to make all the necessary arrangements.
 
PAYMENT TERMS: If you have signed the New Patient Registration Form (Intake
Sheet) and authorized payment of health insurance benefits to Dr. Burkhart, it
is agreed that you will ultimately be responsible for any portion of amounts
charged, not paid by your insurance company.  If Dr. Burkhart is a participating
provider with your insurance, he has agreed to an allowed fee amount and after
your insurance is billed and paid their portion of that amount, you will be
billed for whatever co-insurance and/or co-payment is due from you. Your
insurance deductible may be applied and so you may end up being responsible for
the full amounts allowed by your insurance company. And should the insurance or
eligibility status listed on your Intake Sheet and initially verified by Dr.
Burkhart change by the time of your appointment and if by then you have not
provided and had verified alternative insurance, you will then be responsible
for any and all fee amounts charged.
