For accounting and insurance billing purposes, these are paid by dates of service, so every date of service is assigned a different account number.

Why do I need an official payment plan?
By agreeing to an interest free, no fee or penalty payment plan, we keep your account internally with our system to keep it from aging out to an outside source, who would charge interest.

Why do you send me a letter to contact my insurance? Why don’t you call them?
As your contract is between the policy holder and the insurance company, we ask that the policy holder contact the insurance company because they are requiring that you personally respond to their question.
