ADC is a provider for most major health insurance plans. As a convenience, we will submit your charges to your plan, but you, as the patient, are ultimately responsible for the payment in full of your account with ADC. If you have any questions about your coverage, please check with your health insurance plan prior to your appointment with us.
Patients or responsible parties,are responsible for any portion of their bill not covered by their health insurance. Please bring your health insurance plan required co-payment and identification card to your appointment.

If you have been referred to ADC by your primary care clinic, it is your responsibility to have the proper authorization for your appointment. A patient care plan is not a referral. Your health insurance plan may require referrals for every visit. Failure to obtain the proper authorization may result in personal expense to you. Many health insurance providers do not issue retroactive referrals.
Patients receiving (medically unnecessary) cosmetic services, or with private or no insurance, must pay the full balance at the time of service. For your convenience, we accept Discover, MasterCard and Visa. You can request an itemized statement that you can attach to your health insurance claim form if you file for reimbursement from your health insurance company.
If you are scheduled for a surgical cosmetic procedure, you may be required to pay the anticipated surgical fee two weeks prior to the procedure. If payment is not received, your procedure may be canceled.
Any unpaid balance over 30 days may be assessed a finance charge which is computed at a periodic rate of 1 1/2 % per month, which is an annual percentage of 18%. Bills unpaid after 3 months will be sent to a collection agency. There will be a $20.00 processing fee for any returned checks. If you have any questions about costs or billings, please ask us so that any confusion or misunderstanding may be prevented.
