Our Process.
Paperwork:
When you arrive at our office, our administrative staff will ask for a prescription from your physician (one may have already been faxed to us beforehand) and your current/active insurance card(s). If you are new with us they will also have some intake forms to be filled out. If you are a previous patient please notify staff if things like your address, phone number, email or insurance has changed since last time we saw you. We appreciate it when patients arrive 5-10 minutes before scheduled appointments to allow time to take care of paperwork and any other items the administrative staff need to address.
Insurance:
Westlake Orthotics and Prosthetics accepts all insurance, but we cannot guarantee coverage or benefits until we have received proper information. Please make sure to bring any and all current/active insurance cards, workman's compensation or automotive claim information to your appointment. This will insure we received prior authorization when necessary.
Financial Policy:
Westlake Orthotics and Prosthetics bills your insurance directly. We send out statements when we received an explanation of benefits back from your insurance.
If a service is not covered by your insurance - We ask that custom items 50% is paid before we begin fabrication of the custom item(s) and 50% due at time of delivery, unless other payment arrangements are made prior to items being fabricated and delivered.
If you currently do not have insurance - Payment will be due in full before the delivery date. If item is custom made we ask that 50% be paid before we begin fabrication and 50% at time of delivery. Unless other payment arrangements have been made.
