Important Insurance and Billing Information
Information on Our Fees, Laboratory Billing, and Prescription Refills:
Our fee is comparable to the charges of other physicians in the same specialty; the fees for services vary with the amount of time required to deal with a problem. We provide a quote on the estimate of charges for procedures and routine office calls.
Some of the laboratory tests done in this office are performed by our facility, while others are sent to outside laboratories. There will be separate billing for the tests done by the outside laboratories.
You can contact your pharmacy 48 hours in advance for all prescription refills. All prescription renewals will be done during office hours only, as the doctor on call may not be acquainted with your problem.
As a reminder, physicians in this facility may prescribe natural medications to their patients. Insurance carriers DO NOT cover the cost of these medications as they are considered over the counter medications. It is therefore, the patients' responsibility to pay for these items at the time of service.
In the event that your insurance carrier does not cover braces splints, heel lifts and arch supports you will be billed and responsible for this amount.
