Payment Options
Copayments are due at the time of your office visit. We will bill your insurance company for services rendered and we will balance bill you after your insurance company has processed your claim.
We send monthly statements of personal balances due. You should appeal to your insurance plan if you think the plan has underpaid for the services or if you are unexpectedly denied coverage. You should receive a notice from your plan about how they covered the claim.
We accept personal checks, MasterCard, VISA and Debit cards.
Prescription Refills
Please notify us of your preferred pharmacy. Most prescriptions will be sent electronically to your pharmacy, so if we have the correct information, refills can be efficiently processed. . Please use the Patient Portal to request a prescription refill or call the office for prescription refills during regular office hours. We cannot call in prescription refills during nights and weekends. Prescriptions will usually be sent to your pharmacy within 24 hours. Please allow time for processing and contact your pharmacy to verify that a prescription has been renewed before you proceed to the pharmacy. Please contact us if the prescription has not been renewed in a timely fashion.
