HOW CAN I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT?
DO I NEED A REFERRAL?
WILL I NEED A COPAY?
You may need to pay a copay, depending on your insurance coverage. The amount varies but is often listed on the front of the insurance card. Your relationship with your insurance company is between you and your insurance company. As a courtesy, there are some items with which me may assist, but should you have questions about your insurance coverage, it is best to contact the insurer directly to advise you before scheduling your visit. There is often a “member service” phone number on the insurance card.
