Billing

A patient that does not make an effort to let the staff of South Carolina Sleep Medicine know they will not be coming to there scheduled appointment at least 24 hours of there appointment will be marked as a “no-show.” Once established as a no show the patient may be billed a fee for missing the appointment unexpectedly. The patient may also lose preference in scheduling and re-scheduling future appointments. After several “no-shows” the patient will no longer be allowed to schedule appointments with South Carolina Sleep Medicine.

All co-pays must be collected at the time of service or the patient will be required to reschedule. South Carolina Sleep Medicine willingly participates with many health plans and insurances and files charges with those plans as a courtesy. It is the patient’s full responsibility to pay any amount the insurance plan does not cover. This is to include any co-insurances and co-pays. South Carolina Sleep Medicine holds the right to collect these amounts at the time of service and expects patients to understand that they are responsible for these amounts and should not ask to be billed at a later date.

Thank you for your cooperation and attention to this matter.
