Office Information: About Your Visit
 Insurance Information
As a service to our patients, we will file standardized insurance claim forms to all insurance carriers for primary, secondary, and tertiary carriers. It is the patient's responsibility to determine whether our services will be covered by their plan and obtain any necessary referrals prior to their scheduled appointment. The patient remains responsible for any charges remaining after insurance payment and for any non-covered services. You will begin receiving a monthly bill once we have received payment from your insurance.
Appointments
Please call the office to make an appointment in advance. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call us as far in advance as possible so we may use that time to see another patient in need of care. We make a sincere effort to adhere to our appointment schedule and appreciate your patience if we are late due to emergencies or hospital surgery.
Fees & Payments
We make every effort to decrease the cost of your medical care. Therefore, we request payment arrangements for all office services at the time they are rendered unless prior arrangements have been made. We accept cash, checks, MasterCard, and Visa for your convenience. Co-pays are due upon arrival. If we are a participating provider of your insurance company, we will bill them. However, payment is the patient's responsibility. We will help in any way we can to assist you in handling claims.
Prescriptions & Renewals
Please request all prescriptions and authorizations for renewals during our office hours, when our full records are available. Renewals requested at other times will be filled only for extreme or emergent circumstances.
