Financial Policy

Thank you for choosing D&J Medical for your orthotic and prosthetic needs. We are committed to providing you with the best care possible.

Please understand that payment of your bill is part of your treatment and care. Our billing staff is available to answer questions concerning your bills and payments and to assist you with insurance questions.

The following information is provided as a courtesy to clarify your financial responsibility as it relates to the professional services provided by D&J Medical.

This document does not cover all situations and should not be construed as an all-inclusive listing of possible situations. If a specific payer contract conflicts with any of the policies below, then the payer contract will supersede the conflicting policies.

As part of our commitment of service to you, we will make every attempt to verify your insurance benefits during or before the time your services are rendered. However, insurance verification or authorization is NOT a guarantee of insurance payment. Verification only allows our offices to provide you with a preliminary estimate of any monies due by the insured at the time of delivery of the device. Your patient portion is subject to change based on final claim determination by your insurance carrier.

Your financial responsibility depends on a variety of factors, explained below.
