SMHWI Blog: Expert Insights on Mental Health & Wellness

Financial Policy

Thank you for choosing us as your care provider. We are committed to providing you with quality and affordable healthcare. This billing process notification is developed to assist you with understanding your rights and responsibilities when receiving services with SMHWI.

Insurance: SMHWI Participates in most insurance plans, including Medicare. If you are not insured by a plan, payment in full is expected at each visit. If you are covered by a participating plan, but you are either missing an updated insurance card or cannot provide policy and group number, you will be responsible. You will be required to pay for your visit in full until our office is able to confirm your coverage. Knowing your insurance benefits is your responsibility. Please contact your insurance company with any questions you may have regarding your coverage.

Proof of insurance: All Patients must confirm and/ or complete a patient information form before being seen. We must obtain a copy of your driver's license and current valid insurance card to provide proof of insurance. If you fail to provide us with the correct insurance information in a timely manner (48 hours before appt), you will be responsible for the balance of the claim.

Non- Covered Services: Please be aware that some- and perhaps all- of the services you receive may be non covered or not considered reasonable or necessary by your insurers. You will be billed for these services.

Change in insurance plans: You are expected to notify our office if your insurance coverage changes. We will ask you to update your record at each visit to our office. It is also your responsibility to notify the office immediately of these changes. Balances left over 90 days will become the responsibility of the patient. Insurance carriers give us a 90 day period to submit claims to them for payment. After that time it will be denied as past timely filing. If we are unable to process your claim due to incorrect information given, we will bill you directly for services.

Claims Submission: We will submit your claims and assist you in any way reasonable to help get your claim paid. Your insurance company may need you to supply certain information directly. It is your responsibility to comply with their request. If payment is denied due to lack of response from you, the balance will immediately become due and payable by you. Your insurance benefit is a contract between you and your insurance company. We are not the party to the contract.

Payment is Required at The time of Service: Patients who are not covered by health insurance, on a plan that we do not participate with , or if we are not able to verify your coverage must pay at the time of service. Patients who have plans that we do participate with are asked to pay their co-payment, coinsurance, deductibles, or non-covered services at the time of their visit.

Self Pay: We want to provide uninsured patients with quality and affordable healthcare. Most of our billed charges will be discounted for self- pay patients. In order for us to offer these rates, payments must be made in full at the time of service before leaving the office. No further discounts will be given. This discount does not apply if insurance is or has been billed. The self pay discount does not apply to Co-pays, deductibles, or non covered services.

Nonpayment: Should your account become 90 days delinquent, you will receive a letter stating that you have 10 days to pay your account in full. Patient payments will not be accepted unless otherwise negotiated with a member of our billing team. Please be aware that if a balance remains unpaid, we will refer your account to a collection agency. The patient or guarantor will be responsible for all costs of collection including attorney fees, collection fees and contingent fees to collections agencies of not less than 35 percent. The contingency fees will be added and collected by the collection agency immediately up to our referral of your account to the collection agency of our choice.

Third Party Billing- We do not do any third party billing, follow up or related activity. If a third party may be involved, it will be the patient’s responsibility to seek reimbursement. Patients involved with a third party payor will be expected to provide health insurance or if uninsured, will fall under the self pay guidelines.

Our practice is committed to provide the best treatment to our patients. Our prices are representative of the usual and customary charges for our area.

Thank you for understanding our financial policy. Please Let us know if you have any questions.

I have read and understand the financial policy and agree to abide by its guidelines.

How do Telehealth Services work? All patients participating in Telehealth delivery should use their reasonable best efforts to interface with Clinicians in a private setting using a two-way, interactive device with video capability (e.g. personal computers, tablets, smartphones or other personal devices with video capability). Treating Clinicians interfacing with patients will also utilize similar equipment in private settings when delivering care. Patients participating in group-level services should use their reasonable best efforts to maintain patient privacy for all participating patients and should ensure third parties are not able to overhear or view participating patient information

Credit Card Authorization Form

Thank you for choosing Synergy Mental Health and Wellness Integrated (SMHWI) for your mental health needs.
We are committed to providing you with exceptional care, as well as making our insurance billing processes as simple and efficient as possible. Recent shifts in the healthcare industry have resulted in insurance companies increasingly transferring costs to our patients, you, the insured. This is driving many practices to adopt new financial policies to enable more efficient operational processes. Some insurance plans require deductibles and copayments in amounts not known to you or us at the time of your visit

To streamline our billing and payment system and to provide a seamless, convenient way for patients to pay their bills, SMHWI will require all patients keep an active credit card on file with us. We will bill your insurance company first and upon their determination of benefits, we will only charge your credit card when they inform us of patient responsibility. Circumstances when your card would be charged include but are not limited to: missed or canceled sessions without 24-hour notice ($100), missed co- payments, deductible and coinsurance, any noncovered services and/or denial of services, including the first/psychiatric assessment appointment.

Once your insurance has processed your claims, they will send an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) to both you and our office showing the amount of your total patient responsibility. You will typically receive the EOB before we do, so if you disagree with the patient responsibility balance owed, it is your responsibility to contact your insurance carrier immediately.
When we receive the EOB, we will enter all pertinent payment information into our system. At that time, any remaining balance owed by you will be charged to your credit card and a copy of the charge will be sent to you.

If the credit card we have on file for you changes, please notify your clinicians IMMEDIATELY by phone or email. It is not uncommon for people to change or cancel their credit cards for various reasons, including when a credit card expires. If we run your credit card and it is denied for any reason, we reserve the right to charge an additional $25 declined card fee if we are not able to run a new credit card within 7 days.

We will contact you or leave you a phone message on the phone number you provided for us, asking you to give us a call with the new number right away. We will enter the new credit card number into your file, and that will become your new card on-file, subject to the same financial policy as the card you gave us in-person when you were in our office.

If there is a problem with your bill/claim and it is brought to our attention after your credit card payment processes,
we will investigate it and if we owe you the money, we will refund it to the same card in a timely manner. We understand that there are legitimate reasons that you may not have a credit card. If this is the case, you are welcome to leave an HSA (Health Savings Account) or Flex Plan Card on File. You may also pay for the visit with cash or a personal check.

By signing below, I agree to the SMHWI Credit Card on File Policy and I authorize SMHWI to keep my signature and a valid credit/debit card number securely on-file in my account. I allow SMHWI to automatically charge my credit card for any outstanding balances. These may include; insurance denials for ANY reason (including no referral on file), deductibles, coinsurances, partially paid claims, and missed or canceled appointments without 24-hour notice will be charged the full $100.00 fee.

If the credit card that I give today changes, expires, or is denied for any reason, then I agree to immediately give SMHWI a new, valid credit card which I will allow them to key-in over the phone. Even though SMHWI is not swiping this card in person, I agree that the new card will still be subject to the financial policy listed here and may be used with the same authorization as the original card which I presented in person.

I understand that I am responsible for payment for all medical services provided to me by SMHWI. I understand that my insurance may deny or delay payment for these services or only partially pay them, and I agree to allow SMHWI to immediately charge my credit card on file for the balance if that happens. I understand that this form is valid until I cancel this authorization through written notice to SMHWI.

When you schedule an appointment with SMHWI we set aside enough time to provide you with the highest quality care. Should you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment please contact our office as soon as possible, and no later than 48 hours prior to your scheduled appointment.

Phone reminders are a courtesy only. It is a patient responsibility to remember the date and appointment time:

There will be a $100.00 charge for all no shows and late cancellations:

The second no show or late cancellation will be charged the full fee:

The third no show or late cancellation will be charged the full fee and will result in discharge from the practice:

Fees will be automatically charged to credit/debit cards if this has text duplicated been your form of payment in the past. Patients that pay cash or by check must arrange for payments to be made before an appointment will be rescheduled :

Any new patient who fails to show for their initial visit will not be rescheduled.

Patients who are transferred out of the practice (or who do not agree with this policy) will receive an official letter documenting termination of the physician/patient relationship, a list of other area psychiatrists, and possibly prescriptions for up to 3 months of the last medication regimen prescribed depending on the circumstances of the situation. This will be mailed via certified mail with a return receipt (i.e. must be signed for) to the address on file (so please inform me of any changes in address).

Interpreting The Beck Depression Inventory

Now that you have completed the questionnaire, add up the score for each of the twenty-one questions by counting the number to the right of each question you marked. The highest possible total for the whole test would be sixty-three. This would mean you circled number three on all twenty-one questions. Since the lowest possible score for each question is zero, the lowest possible score for the test would be zero. This would mean you circle zero on each question.

You can evaluate your depression according to the Table below.

Total Score	Level of depression
1-10	These ups and downs are considered normal
11-16	Mild mood disturbance
17-20	Borderline clinical depression
21-30	Moderate depression
31-40	Severe depression
Over 40	Extreme depression
