INSURANCE AND BILLING
Our staff is committed to helping you understand and fulfill your insurance requirements so that you can get the medical attention you need. With all of the changes in insurance plans and high deductibles, we encourage you to check your specific insurance plan’s coverage, copay, and deductibles to avoid unexpected costs. Specific to newborns, please double check that your newborn is covered under your insurance plan before your visit. Also check to see if your plan requires that you obtain a referral from your primary care physician prior to your appointment with us. Most HMO plans (as well as some others) require a referral or the visit is not covered.

Standard Billing Procedures
We utilize the services of a professional medical billing company that specializes in processing your insurance claims and payments effectively and accurately. These are our standard billing procedures:
​
-
Always bring your current insurance card with you to your appointment.
-
The co-payment amount (there may be more than one due), required by your insurance company, is due at the time of your appointment.
-
Our billing office will then file a claim with your insurance company.
-
After we have received a response from your insurance company, you will receive a statement/invoice from us if any additional balance is due from you. These are usually due to deductibles, co-insurances, co-pays, or items not covered by your carrier.
-
We are required by law to collect these funds that are deemed the patient's responsibility by your insurance company.
We accept the following forms of payment:
-
Cash

Personal check
