Most insurance plans accepted. You will be responsible for your co-pay amount at each office visit. Medicare PatientsWe participate with Medicare. Therefore, you will only be responsible for the amounts allowed by Medicare unless you sign and Advance Beneficiary Notice stating that you know a service is not covered. An exception to this is well patient physicals. Well patient physicals are generally not covered by Medicare. Therefore, you will always be expected to pay for these. It is important for us to know if Medicare is your primary insurance. If you or your spouse are still employed and a group health plan is available, that group health plan is primary. If you have been in an automobile wreck, if your retirement offers group insurance or if your visit is related to a worker's compensation claim, Medicare is NOT primary. Sometimes Medicare will deny a claim because it has information that it is not primary. If it is incorrect, you will need to call Medicare directly to clarify the mistake. We will inform you by letter if we receive information from Medicare that it is not primary. After you contact Medicare to resolve the matter, please call our billing office at (888)325-1691. The office will be glad to assist you in rectifying the matter. Unless you have secondary insurance that covers coinsurance and deductibles, you will be expected to pay your annual deductible for physicans services and your 20% coinsurance amounts at each visit. If you are on a nonstandard form of Medicare, we need to know so we can comply with special requirements of the managed care plans.
