Insurance (HMO, PPO, etc.): PDEC is a participating provider with most insurance plans. If in doubt, please contact your insurer to verify that your plan allows you to see our providers. We will bill your insurance according to our contract terms with them; you will be responsible for any co-pays, deductibles, non-covered services, or other charges not paid by insurance.

Medicare: We are a participating provider with Medicare and are required to bill Medicare directly for your services. Under present Medicare rules, we receive 80% of the allowable charges from Medicare after your deductible is met; you are responsible for the remaining 20%, plus any deductible.

Referrals and Authorizations: Some insurance companies have rules you must follow regarding referrals to a specialist, prior authorization for services, which facilities you can use for diagnostic tests, which drugs are preferred, etc. It is your responsibility to verify and comply with any insurance company requirements. 

Co-Payments: We will collect your co-payment when you check in for each visit, as stated in your insurance contract. We charge a $25.00 fee to bill you for any co-payments not paid in full at your visit.

Patient Balances: You will be billed for any balances not paid by insurance. The balance is due within 30 days of the first billing unless special arrangements have been made with our office.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. To contact our Patient Accounts Department please call 503-274-4808.
