Overview

• Under the revised policy, patients can postpone co-pay payments and arrange zero-interest installment plans instead of paying at the time of service.
• The original requirement to collect co-pays upfront for scheduled office visits, outpatient tests and procedures was set to take effect June 1.
• Medicaid and traditional Medicare beneficiaries were never subject to the pay-now rule and remain unaffected by the change.
• The rule did not cover emergency care, inpatient stays, cancer treatments or urgent and express care visits.
• Payment options include credit, debit, check or FSA/HSA cards at all sites and cash, Apple Pay or Google Pay at select locations.
