We can work out a reasonable cash rate for your office visits. Please call our office to inquire. We can also direct you to laboratories and radiology facilities who can work with you.
Please contact your pharmacy and have them generate a fax to our office. We will take care of it that day. On Fridays and weekends, please allow extra time.
Please leave a message on our answering machine. We will get back to you during our business hours. If you need to speak to a doctor right a way, please hang up and re-dial. Doctors are available on their cell phones.
In case of an emergency, please call 911.
Your insurance company has the list of contracted providers. We also update our list on our website, INSURANCE PPO. Please check with our office, as this information may change.
You can still see the doctors. We can work out a reasonable cash rate. We can then bill your insurance for you, so that you can be reimbursed. Depending on the policy, you may have a separate deductible for using non-contracted providers, which means you may not get reimbursed at all. Often HMO plans will not reimburse you if you go outside of HMO network.
After we submit our charges to your insurance company, we receive a payment from them except for the portion of your co-pay and deductible.
After we submit our charges to Medicare, we receive a payment from them(for hospital visits only). Medicare covers 80% and secondary insurance covers the remaining 20% of the charges. Please note that Medicare has a deductible period. Secondary insurance usually covers the medicare deductible but it may also have a deductible period.
Several numbers will appear on your bill. CPT code refers to the actual visit and what was done. Depending on the time spent, higher charge will appear. The same CPT codes will appear on the EOB(explanation of benefits) that you receive from your insurance company. ICD code refers to the diagnosis. Both codes are standardized for electronic billing.
