Saltzer Medical Group offers three different methods of paying accounts. When discussing payment arrangements, one of the following payment plans should be agreed upon between the patient or account guarantor and us. These plans are listed below in order of preference.

1. Pay balance in full. We accept cash, check, Visa, MasterCard and Discover Card. For your convenience, the balance due may be transferred to your bank card up to the unused portion of your credit line. If you would like to do so, please let us know and we will handle the transfer. We are also able to take your payments over the phone if paying by credit card or check.
2. 90-day plan. The balance is divided by three equal payments to be paid for three consecutive months. 90-day is "same as cash", no interest and no set up fee.
3. SAC (Same as Cash-OAC). 12 months same as cash no interest and no set up fee. Minimum payment of $25 or 33% of the monthly balance is due each month. All balances not paid within the 12 months are subject to 18% finance fee from origination. This option is on approved credit (OAC) basis and administered through a financial institution.

If the balance on your account is not paid-in-full within 90 days upon receipt of your first billing statement, your account will be transferred to our Account Billing Service (ABS). There is a $20 origination fee assessed at the beginning of this plan. You will set up an individual payment plan with ABS and then be given a coupon book. There will be 12% annual interest added to the account balance. Medicare patients will not be charged the origination fee or the interest. This option is administered through an outside institution.

We are unable to hold accounts for extended periods of time. However, if you are unable to choose one of the options above, one of our Patient Accounts Collection team members can review other possible options with you. Please contact them at 463-3000.
