Please be prepared to provide your current insurance car at the time of your appointment to determine your payment obligation.

HMO’S and PPO’s
HMO and PPO patients are expected to obtain a referral for the visit (if required by your plan) and to pay the co-payment specified by the plan at the time of service.  Please familiarize yourself with your specific coverage to understand your payment obligation.  Contact your insurance company to determine your plan’s specific requirements and coverage options.

MEDICARE:
Medicare patients are not required to make payment at the time of service.  Any deductible or patient responsibility will be determined after billing Medicare.

MEDICAID:
Medicaid patients are required to bring their current Medical Assistance card reflecting coverage eligibility for the appointment date.  If your plan requires a co-payment, it will be due at the time of service.  If you do not have your card, we may not be able to verify your plan eligibility and you will be considered a self pay patient.
