We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance from providers like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and many others. Our billing department can verify your coverage before your appointment and explain any out-of-pocket costs. We also offer self-pay options and flexible payment plans for uninsured patients. Please contact our billing office with your insurance information to confirm coverage details.

For your first appointment, please bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card, a list of current medications with dosages, any relevant medical records or test results from previous providers, and a list of questions or concerns you'd like to discuss. If you're seeing a specialist, bring a referral from your primary care physician if required by your insurance. New patients should arrive 15 minutes early to complete registration forms or download them from our website to fill out in advance.

Yes! We offer comprehensive telehealth services for many types of appointments including follow-up visits, medication management, mental health counseling, nutrition consultations, and initial assessments for certain conditions. Our secure video platform is HIPAA-compliant and easy to use on smartphones, tablets, or computers. Some services like physical examinations, procedures, and certain diagnostic tests still require in-person visits, but we'll work with you to determine the best approach for your healthcare needs.

You can access your medical records, test results, and visit summaries through our secure patient portal available on our website and as a mobile app. Once registered, you'll have 24/7 access to your health information, can request prescription refills, message your healthcare team, and schedule appointments. For those who prefer paper copies, we can provide printed records upon request with proper authorization. Most test results are available within 24-48 hours after completion.

While we're not a full emergency room, we provide urgent care services for non-life-threatening conditions during business hours, including injuries, infections, asthma attacks, and other acute medical issues. For life-threatening emergencies like heart attacks, strokes, or severe injuries, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately. We do have an on-call physician available 24/7 for phone consultations to help determine if your situation requires emergency care or can wait for an urgent appointment.

Due to HIPAA privacy regulations, we cannot release your health information to family members or anyone else without your explicit written authorization. You can complete a release of information form to designate specific individuals who may access your records or discuss your care with our staff. For patients who are minors, parents or legal guardians automatically have access to their health information. We take patient privacy very seriously and ensure all communications and records are handled with the utmost confidentiality.

We believe everyone deserves quality healthcare regardless of insurance status. For uninsured patients, we offer competitive self-pay rates and various payment options including cash, credit/debit cards, and payment plans through CareCredit and other healthcare financing companies. We also provide a sliding fee scale based on income for qualifying patients. Our financial counselors can help you explore all available options and find a payment solution that works for your budget. Don't let cost prevent you from seeking necessary medical care.
