Frequently Asked Questions: Appointments

We do provide telehealth visits on a secure platform to ensure your health information remains protected. It is important to note that the relationship between insurance providers and telemedicine is evolving and coverage may change as the societal health risks change. Also, a telehealth visit may be limited in providing accurate assessment of medical issues in some cases. Should this arise, we would strongly recommend a visit in person to ensure we can provide the right care plan for your needs.

Patients are responsible for their co-pays, deductibles or coinsurance requirements as set forth by their insurance(s). If the visit is not covered – either because you are uninsured/self pay or we are out of network with your insurance provider, full payment is due at time of service. We offer a competitive rate for patients in this scenario and there is a prompt-pay discount for full payment on the day of service. We also participate with CareCredit if you prefer a payment plan.

This is not a bill but explains how much we billed, how much they covered and if there is any balance that is due from you.
