Financial Policies

Financial Information and Payments

Your estimated patient portion and co-pays are required at the time services are rendered. As a service to our patients, we will bill your insurance company for services that we provide to you. If you have any questions, our business office staff is available to answer them.

Methods of payment include:

  • MasterCard
  • Visa
  • Discover
  • American Express
  • Personal checks are only accepted with current, valid ID, and may be converted to Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) at the time of transaction, debiting the account immediately

Woodlands OBGYN Financial Policy

Service Charges May Apply To:

  • Co-payment not received within 24 hours of services provided.
  • Re-filing of insurance if incomplete or incorrect information was given at the time of the original appointment.
  • Returned checks will incur at $35 NSF fee. Based on the discretion of the office manager, any patient who becomes associated with a returned check will no longer be able to provide personal checks as a method of payment for future appointments. Alternative payment methods will need to be used.

Termination of care may unfortunately result from non-compliance of recommended care, including missed or numerous rescheduled appointments, as keeping your appointments are critical to our ability to provide adequate care for you and/or your unborn child.

Please be aware there will be a separate charge for medical records (as allowed by law) if requested, as well as for any request to complete FMLA paperwork or disability forms.

These policies and terms assist us in continuing to provide the best care possible, by protecting the integrity of the administering of healthcare services.

If you have questions or concerns, please connect with us at 281.364.9898 and ask to speak with our business department.

Refund and Financial Privacy Policies

Refund Policy

Woodlands OBGYN Associates collects amounts anticipated to be or already determined to be your responsibility, based on your insurance policy (or cash rates, if you do not have insurance) for services rendered. Refunds will not be issued for services rendered unless we have collected more than the amount your insurance company determines to be your responsibility. We make every effort to refund any patient or insurance over-payments in a timely manner. If you feel you are owed a refund or your card was charged in error, please contact our business office at 281.364.9898.
