PAYMENT GUARANTEE
SaVida is committed to providing you with the highest level of patient care. Charges for services in our practice are within
the “usual and customary” rates for our area. All professional services rendered are charged to the patient or financially
responsible party. As a courtesy to you, SaVida will file all claims to your insurance company. All services rendered must be
paid in full at the time of service, until your deductible has been satisfied. If you do not have a deductible, or it has been
met, you must pay all “co-payments” or percentages as dictated by your insurance carrier. If you have met your deductible
with another provider, documentation must be provided. If you do not have insurance, you must pay in full at the time of
service, unless prior arrangements have been made (financial plans are available). Your insurance policy is a contract
between you and your insurance company. If your insurance company has not paid your account in full within 90 days, you
will be responsible for the remaining charges. We will continue to assist you in resolving any outstanding balance. I
understand and agree that I am solely responsible for all charges to my account. I agree to pay all collection costs,
returned check fees, attorney fees and court costs incurred by SaVida Health and/or Agency in the collection of all charges
due.
