    2. The amount of the visit will be determined after the Doctor’s visit. The cost of each visit may vary depending on what is ordered during my visit.
    3. As a courtesy to the patient, KCHC will file your insurance and get authorization for procedures. However, it is your responsibility to give us all the necessary insurance information at the time of service. You may also want to verify with your insurance company that approval was given. KCHC will need a copy of your insurance card at each appointment.
    4. If insurance authorization cannot be obtained, you are responsible for the charges.
    5. Co-payment is due at each appointment and before any procedure is performed.
    6. KCHC is not a free clinic and we must collect from all of our patients in order to continue to provide services to our community.
