Insurance Card
It is important to bring both your insurance card and a photo idea to every appointment. Please advise our staff if your insurance information has been changed and if your personal information (address, phone, etc.) has recently changed. It is important that we have this information for insurance verification and pre-certification.
Referrals
Most HMO, PPO, and POS insurance plans require a referral from your primary care provider (PCP) to a specialist. Please have your PCP contact our office to ensure a proper referral is completed prior to scheduling an appointment.
Pre-Authorization/Certification
Before any diagnostic test and/or surgical procedure, our office staff will obtain prior-authorization if required. However, it is the patient's responsibility to know his/her insurance requirements. Please note that obtaining prior-authorization does not guarantee coverage of services; your insurance must be active at the time services are rendered.
