Golden Billing and Payment

Golden Days routinely bills insurance companies within the alotted time provided by your health insurance company. Following your visit, based on your coverage, you may recieve a bill from us for the remainder of your balance. We expect your bill to be paid, or the balance will be sent to collections. If there are any questions or concerns about your bill, please give us a call at our office to speak with our billing department or send us an email at billing@goldendayshealthcare.com.

We are here to help you understand your bill. However, Golden Days can only help explain bills after the insurance company has taken action. If your insurance company has not already taken action on a claim, you should call them before calling Golden Days.

For faster and more accurate assistance, you should be prepared to provide:

Name of the patient
Name of the person who accepts financial responsibility for the bill (guarantor)
Account number shown on your bill
Date the service was received
You should also have your insurance card available in case we need the name of the insurance company, your policy number, or other information displayed on the card.

We want to help you resolve issues concerning your account. However, we cannot answer questions about your health insurance benefits. Insurance plans have payment levels and payment rules which vary by individual patient and which may change over time. Although we can explain why we are billing you and what the bill is for, you should direct questions about why your visit wasn’t covered or why your benefits were reduced to your insurance company.

It is our standard procedure to ask you for your insurance card at each visit, so always bring your most recent insurance card with you. It is especially important to do so if your insurance coverage has changed for some reason. When you present your card, the receptionist will confirm the insurance information on file and update your account with any changes. We find that most billing problems arise because a patient’s bill was sent to an incorrect insurance company. Also, be prepared at the time of service to make co-payments or pay the co-insurance required by your insurance plan.

How much you pay for your visit depends on your insurance plan.
If you do not have insurance or have an insurance with which do not participate, Golden Days Offers the most affordable out-of-pocket Self-Pay program. To view the self-pay prices for office visit charges and add-on services, view our pricing page.

Golden Days does have fees for late arrivals and no-shows. Cancellations must occur within 24 hours of your appointment time.

Late fee: $15 (Arrivals after the 15 minute grace period)
No-Show fee: $25 (No show to an appointment)
Your scheduled appointment is valuable to us and we ensure to reserve your spot so that your wait is minimal. We understand there are life matters that arise but its important for us respect each patients time. Any fees will be recorded and placed on the patinets account and collected at the next scheduled visit.

Co-Payment – The fixed out-of-pocket cost you pay for a visit, defined by your insurance plan.

Deductible – The cumulative amount you must pay out-of-pocket for visits and services before your insurance begins to pay on any visit or service. If your deductible isn’t met, you may be responsible for as much as the entire visit cost.

Co-Insurance – The percentage of visit and service charges you pay after your deductible is met.

At Golden Days, if a patient has commercial insurance with which we do not participate, he or she is welcome to register on a self-pay basis and be seen. To learn more about our self-pay options, please visit our prices page.

Unfortunately, federal law prohibits us (or any other provider) from accepting a patient with government insurance coverage (such as Medicare, Tricare or Medicaid) on a self-pay basis.
