Villages Health care new patient forms
I am excited to try the Villages health care, it seems like a great idea. But as I am filling out the new patient forms this morning, page 4 is the authorization to release information page. At the bottom it says I agree to be responsible for payment of the difference if insurance benefits don't cover. I will be responsible for the entire amount due for professional services rendered if the expense is not covered by my policy.
Is this the norm at all doctor's offices these days? I sure don't recall signing something like that in the past, but I've had the same doctor for the last 15 years and I know things have changed.
I have a high deductible plan so we could be paying a lot anyway, if we suddenly had to start seeing a doctor.....as of now, we go to our once a year check up and that's about it.
