Services We Provide
As a convenience to our patients we have a well-equipped medical laboratory on site. Many tests can be performed and evaluated during your visit and can often times eliminate the need for you to travel to an outside lab.
Many health conditions require the use of medications as part of the treatment program. If you have any questions regarding your medication protocol or if you need your medication refilled please feel free to call us during our regular office hours or contact your pharmacy and they will call us. To insure that you have your medication when you need it you must allow 48-72 hours for your medication refills to be phoned in to your pharmacy.

Good Faith Estimate for Uninsured or Self-Pay Patients
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
-
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
-
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your scheduled medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
-
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill
-
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
