Insurance Reimbursement
If you have medical insurance coverage, and have met your annual deductible or your financial situation demands that you get reimbursed, please call your insurance carrier to verify :
• That they cover care provided by an "Out of the Network Provider" .
• The amount of the annual deductible available for "Out of Network" care.
• What, if any, additional forms need to accompany the "superbill" in order for you to obtain reimbursement.

For visits that are considered "Out of the Network", after you have paid in full for your visit, we will provide you with the documentation you will need to obtain reimbursement from your insurance company for your visit. This itemized invoice, a "superbill" lists all the services provided along with the diagnostic codes required by insurance providers to issue reimbursement.
• We cannot file a claim form for you, nor do we perform any administrative function related to insurance claims or payments.
• We cannot guarantee that the reimbursement you receive will cover all of your costs
• We cannot predict what services your policy will reimburse
• We have no control over your coverage or how your insurance company reimburses
• Any reimbursement requested should be paid to you, and belongs to you, not us. If the insurance company sends us the reimbursement check, we will promptly write you a check for the same amount.
Medicare: The Medicare system is exceptionally complicated, and requires an experienced and dedicated person to navigate it. If the rules are not followed exactly, the billing physician is exposed to fines, audits, revocation of license and even incarceration.
• As a solo provider, it is a risky proposition for me to divert time away from patient care to try to navigate the Medicare system at this time.
• If you have Medicare, I will be happy to be your physician, but you will be required to sign a contract agreeing to be personally responsible for all charges incurred for services provided in the office.

Please be aware that:
• The MEDICARE system will not reimburse you for any services provided by our office, neither will any secondary insurance that you may have in addition to Medicare.
• Secondary insurers usually pay after Medicare, but since I do not bill Medicare for anything done in my office, they refuse to pay.
Medication Refills: Refilling prescriptions is a time consuming task so please plan your office visits with your medication needs in mind and make refill requests then.
• We both will make every effort to be mindful of your medication needs so that you will not run out of needed medications between visits.
• Please ask if refills are not addressed during your appointment.
• If you did not get refills during your appointment, please Email Us and include the name of your preferred pharmacy.
• Your request will be addressed within 72 hours.
