How to Pay for Our Services

Please familiarize yourself with your insurance plan and benefits covered. Always have your insurance identification card available at the time of your appointment. You are obligated to pay for any co-pay or deductible as determined by your insurance company. If you have Medicare, we will submit the claim for you. We are participating providers with Medicare, and are paid directly by Medicare. You are obligated to pay the Medicare deductible. If you have an insurance that is secondary to Medicare, please give this information to our front desk staff. We will be happy to submit the claim for you after Medicare has paid us. If you have an insurance that is an HMO, we will submit the claim for you. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COPAYMENT AMOUNT LISTED ON YOUR INSURANCE CARD IS PAYABLE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE.

If you have an insurance that is not one with which we participate, we can submit the claim for you if you desire; in this case, our policy is that you pay at the time of service. If you have Medi-cal, please present your medi-cal card upon your arrival in order for us to verify eligibility. You will not be seen for a non-emergency appointment if it is determined that you are not eligible that month. Please be advised that it is your responsibility to verify with your insurance carrier if our office is listed as a participating provider, and to obtain any necessary authorizations. You are ultimately responsible for any medical services received at our office regardless of the decision involving reimbursement made by your insurance carrier. If you have any questions regarding your account, please contact our business office at 510-893-7506.
