Business Services

Dr. Craig Humphreys recognizes that complex billing procedures and payment methods can be confusing and frustrating for most people. We hope you find the following information about our financial policies and billing procedures helpful.

Insurance Processing

Our patients are encouraged to check with their insurance carrier to make sure that Dr. Craig Humphreys is in their care network. As a courtesy, we are happy to file insurance claims for our patients.

Dr. Craig Humphreys can also provide care for patients as an out-of-network provider; details of your financial responsibility should be discussed with your insurance company. We will file a claim to our patient’s primary insurance carrier as well as any secondary or supplemental insurance plans they may have once the primary carrier has paid.

We file claims to Workers’ Comp, motor vehicle, and personal injury insurances. Patients can help us file these claims effectively by providing a copy of their current insurance card and all necessary billing information.

Specialized Insurance Reps

We offer specialized insurance representatives for most major insurance payors to assist patients with questions about insurance guidelines and payments. Please call 907-260-5455.

Appointment Cancellation Policy

Our goal is to provide quality medical care in a timely manner. In order to do so we have had to implement an appointment cancellation policy. This policy enables us to better utilize available appointments for our patients in need of medical care.

In order to be respectful of the medical needs of the Dr. Craig Humphreys please be courteous and call promptly if you are unable to attend an appointment. This time will be reallocated to someone who is in need of treatment. This is how we can best serve the needs of all our patients.

If it is necessary to cancel your scheduled appointment we require that you call by 10 a.m., one (1) working day in advance. Appointments are in high demand, and your early cancellation will give another person the possibility to have access to timely medical care.
