ELIGIBILITY IS NOT A VERIFICATION OF COVERAGE

Health insurances may not fully cover all illness such as pre-existing conditions or services such as blood draws and non-routine vaccinations.  We bill these insurances as a courtesy to our patients.

CHANGING INSURANCE

You can usually continue to be a patient here if you switch to one of these insurances and request your new designated Primary Care Provider as Sunita Shailam, M.D.

NO OR OTHER INSURANCE PLANS ACCEPTED

You can still be patient here.  If you have other insurance, you may then submit your receipt of payment directly to them.

DISCOUNTS

10% discount is offered to patients who pay at the time of service.  This does not apply to co-payments, immunizations, or venipunctures.  This is for patients with no insurance, with a non-contracted insurance, or insurance with a deductible.  If you are in financial hardship, let us know and we will discount another 20%.

BLOOD DRAW + VACCINE + FORM FEES

Blood draws, non-routine vaccines, and forms are seldom paid for by health insurances.  Payment will be requested prior to these services.  Payments subsequently paid for by the insurance company of <$15 will be credited back to the patient's account (unless otherwise requested) and >=$15 will be fully refunded back to the patient.
