- Primary CareSome Insurance plans require your primary care doctor to obtain authorization to be referred to another provider/facility. If your Insurance plan requires this, we will try to obtain authorization from your insurance company within 5 business days. Please do not make an appointment with the specialist until you have a notification from us. If Physician or staff spends a great deal of time with prior authorizations or clarification with your referral an administrative fee will be applied, this fee is not billable to your insurance plan.

- Emergency CareOur providers are always available after office hours for emergency calls. Night and weekend coverage is shared with qualified physicians. In a life-threatening situation, go to the nearest Emergency Room or call 911.
- ImmunizationsOur customer service staff can give guidance with respect to generally covered services with the insurances that we are familiar with. However, it is the patient’s responsibility to check whether services are covered. Many insurers do not cover preventative care. Patients receiving non-covered services such as physicals, employment-related physicals, and vaccinations are liable for the cost at our current fee scale which is available on request. There is a 20% discount for payment at the time of service, except for vaccines. We do charge for completing forms unless they are completed during an office visit and for prescription refills where there has not been an office visit within the last 3-6 months, depending on prescription type. Services provided by telephone, fax or email are generally not covered by insurance and may incur charges.
