Payment Information

Our fee schedule at Harcourt Brain Center is well researched and based on current market practices. It is important to us that you understand exactly what goes into making those decisions. Your fee is based on the time the doctor spends with you during your visit, the complexity of your medical condition, and any treatment we provide. However, proper attention to your care also requires that the doctors, and’or members of my staff spend additional time beyond which we spend with you in the office. This time is included in your initial fee and may be used to:

1. Create or maintain your permanent electronic medical record.
2. Review, interpret, and document all lab test results and communicate those results to you.
3. Review current x-ray or scan reports, compare them with reports of previous scans, and when the studies are abnormal, consult with the radiologist or other specialists.
4. Consult via phone about your case with referring or consulting physicians and other healthcare providers.
5. Prepare referral forms to additional specialists as needed.
6. Conduct medical research relevant to your case.
7. Draft letters of necessity and prior authorization forms to obtain medical services that you need.
8. Review records from other doctors and communicate with them regarding your care.

All these activities add to our cost of doing business. Still, our staff is committed to providing you with the best possible care at the lowest cost.
