New patients with insurance: please be advised that you must bring your current valid insurance card to your first appointment and in the beginning of each year when new cards are issued so we can submit claim to your insurance correctly. If your insurance company rejected our claim because you had failed to provide us updated insurance information (including name & address changes) you will be responsible for the full amount of the service you received. If you are unable to provide us with complete insurance information, you may still be seen but only as a cash paying patient.
Visits for cash paying patients starts at $80.00.
Personal checks will not be accepted from patients with history of bounced checks. A $25 fee will be charged for any bounced check.
You will be billed for $65.00 if you can't make to an appointment but didn't bother to cancel it. Please be considerated to other patients who could have your slot.
Our clinic is a family practice office; we are not a laboratory facility or vaccine clinic. We submit billing to your insurance company for blood work or vaccine services based on the rules your insurance companies set for a family practice provider. Your insurance company dictates whether you should be billed for any unpaid balance. Please address any concerns you may have with your insurance company's reimbursement policies with your insurance company, not with clinic staff.
