2025 Financial and Cancellation Policies
Copayments: All co-payments will be collected at the time of service. The appointment will be rescheduled if the co-payment cannot be met unless the patient is symptomatic at the time of service.
Self-Pay and High Deductible Health Plans: For self-pay and high deductible health plan members, VCS will collect $150 at time of service for an office visit OR $200 for testing unless the patient has met their deductible for the year. VCS will also require that self-pay and high deductible health plan members leave a credit card on file. The credit card will not be processed until after full insurance adjudication. Amounts over $150 will be authorized with the patient first. Receipts will be mailed to patients.
Missed Appointments and Late Cancellations: Missed appointments for the following tests/procedures will result in an assessment of a $150 no-show fee:
- CT
- Nuclear
- PET/CT
- Echo
- Vascular Testing
- Vein Procedures
All future testing appointments will be blocked until payment of the fee is received. Two cancellations within 24-hours may result in an assessment of a $200 fee and a block on future testing appointments unless mitigating factors are present.
Form Completion: There will be a $40 pre-payment charge for all forms that need to be completed by a VCS physician. Please allow 7 business days for form completion. Please fill out any patient-specific sections prior to submission to VCS. All forms need to include instructions as to where to send the forms once completed, along with a self-addressed stamped envelope if they are to be mailed.
