Our policy is very firm on not "calling in" prescription medications for children. We cannot intelligently treat a child we have not had the opportunity to evaluate.

Insurance Billing
We will be happy to bill your insurance company for you. In order to do this, we need to have the assignment of benefits portion of your registration form signed and a current insurance card on file in our office.
If we are doing your insurance billing, we will require the deductible or co-payment portion of your bill to be paid at the time of the office visit. If you have elected to do your own insurance billing, we will ask for the entire payment to be made at the time of service.
If you are having any trouble making payments on your bill, please let us know of your problem and we will endeavor to make your payments as convenient as possible. Remember, we only know there is a problem if you tell us. You can reach us by calling 253-848-2303.
It is also important to note that the insurance companies require us to treat a medical problem cared for at a "'Preventative Medicine Visit" (Well-Child or Physical) as an "Independent Visit", with a separate co-pay.
We have the capability of billing your secondary insurance for you. You will need to provide a current secondary insurance card for our office to keep on file.
Unfortunately, we cannot bill "third-party" insurances, such as auto or homeowners insurance. We ask that you pay for the visit at the time of service and request reimbursement from these insurance companies yourself.
Special Insurance Plans
There has been a great proliferation of Preferred Provider and Managed Care Plans in the last several years. Many of these plans have special criteria for hospitalizations and/or consultative care. If these specific criteria are not followed precisely, the insurance company may not pay part, or all of your child's medical costs.
We participate in many commercial and managed care plans, including state sponsored plans.
We are understanding of the additional burden this puts on families at a time of stress. However, to avoid future problems, it is essential that we know this information prior to any hospitalization or consultative referral.
If you have questions about your specific policy or benefit information, please call your insurance representative.
