Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 I was told that after Ocotber 1, 2000, Dr. R will require a deposit of $1000.00 + 225.00 for clinic upfront and the $$ will be returned when the insurance pays him. If my insurance approves this I will have a $10.00 co-pay for an office visit and thats it. I don't care about the deposit as long as I get it back when Dr. R gets paid. Maybe he has had some problems? Who Knows?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Oct we will be asking for a 1,000 deposit. The insurance companies are as bad to us post op as they are you preop. If you are " committed " to having you insurance reimburse us so that you can recoup your deposit, it will be of help to us and our staff. We will still be accepting insurance cases for the time being. We will review hardship cases for patients that cannot afford the deposit on a case by case basis. Peace. RR Rutledge, M.D., F.A.C.S.
