Information for Vein Treatment and Aesthetic Patients at JVAI

We accept personal checks, cash and all major credit cards for payment.

Insurance applies only to venous disease treatment – cosmetic procedures are not eligible for insurance reimbursement. We accept Medicare and many commercial insurances. Patients are advised to check with their insurance to see if we are an “In Network” provider.

Your missed appointment means that no other patient can be seen during the time that was reserved for you. We charge a $30.00 cancellation fee for missed office visits and a $200 cancellation fee for missed surgeries. Surgery appointments must be cancelled or rescheduled three (3) days in advance to avoid a cancellation/rescheduling fee of $200 (for the cost of instruments, supplies and loss of revenue). All office visits and ultrasound appointment must be cancelled one (1) day prior to avoid a $30 cancellation/rescheduling fee. These fees must be received before your appointment will be rescheduled.

All patients should provide accurate and complete personal and insurance information prior to being seen by the doctor or other JVAI providers. It is the patient’s responsibility to verify their benefits and insurance coverage prior to their first visit. Failure to do so may result in a higher out of pocket expense to the patient.

Insurance claims are either contracted or non-contracted depending upon whether JVAI is a network provider for your insurance.

Contracted: If we are contracted with your insurance company, we must follow our contract and their requirements. The insurance company will make the final determination about your eligibility. If your insurance requires a referral, it is your responsibility to obtain it. Failure to obtain the referral may result in a denial of your claim.

Non-contracted: If we are in your insurance provider network (non-contracted insurance), we will bill your insurance company as a coutesy to you. Although we may estimate what what your insurance company may pay, it is the insurance company that makes the final determination of your eligibility. You agree to pay any portion of the charges not covered by insurance. If your insurance requires a referral, it is your responsibility to obtain it. Failure to obtain the referral may result in a denial of your claim.

For both contracted and non-contracted insurance, you, the patient are responsible for co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles and these must be paid at the time of service.
