Insurance
Insurance policy provisions have for some time dictated which services can be provided, the timing of those services, and the reimbursement rate for services. Not only have these provisions adversely impacted the quality of care, they have also reduced the doctor-patient relationship to an occasional brief encounter. We feel our patients deserve better.
Your individual insurance plan is an agreement between you and your insurance company. It is your responsibility to know the specific details of your own plan and it is especially important for you to notify us if there are restrictions regarding referrals, labs, or services to be performed by outside facilities or specialists. You may be responsible for charges if they are not contracted with your insurance company or you have not received proper pre-authorization. You will also be responsible for any “non-covered services.”
