Prescriptions

Prescriptions and refills are submitted electronically at time of appointment. If you need a refill at a time other than at an appointment, please call your pharmacy and have them submit a request to us. This will insure that electronic submission of your prescription is correct.

Referrals

Some insurance companies require a referral to a specialist.  If your insurance company requires a referral, please obtain one from your primary care physician prior to your appointment.

Health Insurance

Insurance information is required and documented at your first visit. If you make changes in your insurance, please let us know immediately. Co-pays are due at the time of service. Please be aware of your insurance plan’s policies regarding co-pay, referrals, etc.

HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1997 (HIPPA) establishes the rules regarding medical records confidentiality. Each new patient must sign an acknowledgement of our policy and will be provided copy if requested.

HIPAA requires we obtain a patient signature before releasing medical records. If you wish to have your medical records released to anyone, please see our receptionist.
