Please bring your insurance card and referral (if required) with you to each appointment. As a courtesy, our staff will verify your insurance coverage and inform you of your out of pocket expense and benefits. If you have a managed care plan, you are required to bring a referral from your primary care physician. In the event that you do not have a required referral you will be responsible for the full charge at the time service is rendered.
We also ask that you be prepared to pay any co-pay or previous balances due at the time of service. For your convenience we accept; cash, check, or credit card.
Most insurance companies now mandate the use of a separate laboratory processing center (usually Quest or LabCorp). If you have any questions regarding a bill you received for laboratory (blood) studies, please direct them to the lab that processed the test or your insurance company.
