Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Display all answersPreparing for your office visit
What should I bring to the office?Has my insurance company authorized my visit?
The best way to know if your insurance company has authorized your visit with us is if you have received written notice. If you have not received notification from the insurance company, you can check with your primary physician (who referred you) to find out when they asked the insurance company for the authorization. Then you can call the insurance company. If the insurance company has not authorized your visit, you may be financially responsible for the full amount of our charges, or you may decide to reschedule your appointment. In some cases your insurance may refuse to authorize your visit. In that case, if you contact us in advance, we will discuss whether we can adjust our fees to be similar, though possibly greater than, your usual co-pay.
