Insurance Policies
Please confirm with your insurance company if they consider us a participating doctor.
Please bring your insurance card, a legal form of identification and an accepted method of payment to every visit.
You will need to present your card at every visit because our contracts with insurance companies require us to validate your coverage each time we see you.
WE MUST HAVE A COPY OF YOUR CURRENT INSURANCE CARD ON FILE IN ORDER TO SUBMIT CLAIMS. If we are not given a valid insurance card you will be considered 'Self-Pay" and will be billed as such.

No Show Policy
Please review the COMPLETE policy in our office.
The relationship between a doctor and a patient is a two-way street. There are rights and responsibilities on both sides. When you make an appointment to see Dr. Narain, that time is set aside just for you. If you make an appointment while in the office, we will provide you with an appointment card. If you are web enabled, i.e. we have your email address, there will be an email reminder sent to your email prior to your scheduled appointment. We attempt to confirm appointments a day in advance but ultimately you are responsible to mark your calendar to assure you are available to keep the appointment.
If you do not keep your appointment or fail to inform us at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment a no show fee will be assessed. You, the patient, are then responsible for payment of this fee.
At the sleep lab, please make sure your pick up and drop off rides are on time. Our technicians need to leave promptly in order to sleep. Any delays may be subject to additional charges.
Financial Policy
We are committed to providing you with the best possible care and we will gladly discuss our professional fees with you at any time. Your clear understanding of our Financial Policy is important to our professional relationship. Please ask if you have any questions about our fees, Financial Policy, or your responsibility in regards to your services.

If you have insurance, we will assist you in receiving your benefits. Any insurance claim will only be submitted if we are furnished FULL insurance company information as needed. Please be aware insurances mandate a time frame for filing insurance claims.

We will not become involved in disputes between you and your insurance company regarding deductibles, co-payments, covered charges, secondary insurance, "usual and customary" charges, etc., other than to supply factual information as necessary. You will need to resolve these with your insurance. In addition, we will not become involved in family disputes, such as divorce.

YOUR INSUARNCE IS A CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY ONLY.
