INSURED PATIENTS:

We will bill your visit directly to your insurance provider if you supply an updated proof of insurance at each visit. Your co-pay, co-insurance or deductible payment is due at time of visit. Please note that the insurance policy is between you and your insurance provider; we are happy to file the claim for you, but the balance is your responsibility if your plan does not pay after 30 days. Any amount not covered by your insurance policy is due immediately after you receive your first invoice from us.

MEDICARE:
We accept patients on the Medicare plan. As a courtesy, we will also bill your secondary insurance provider directly. You will be asked to sign an Advanced Beneficiary Notice for services not covered under Medicare. You shall be accountable for covering these services.

INFORMATION:

• If you have questions for the physician or nurse practitioner and have not been seen in over one month, please schedule an appointment.
• Please allow 24-48 hours for a return call if you have left a message.
• For refills, please contact your local pharmacy and they will fax us a request. To ensure you do not run out of your medication, please call 7-10 business days before running out of medications and allow 72 hours for the refill to be processed. Refills will only be approved if a follow-up visit has been kept every six months. Note: Prescriptions will not be refilled over the weekend or after hours.
• If any tests or procedures are ordered, we will obtain authorization from your insurance company. Please allow 5-7 business days for this process. Note: our office is closed on Friday. Once the authorization is obtained, the facility will contact you, unless otherwise stated.
• Follow appointments are required for all test results.
