We accept most non-HMO insurances, including PPO’s and cash. You may want to check with your insurance to make sure that we are a provider for your plan. In order to have more time to provide quality medical care for our patients and to have a better quality of life for ourselves, we have chosen not to be involved in HMO medicine.
This means that we cannot provide care for any patients who want to use their HMO insurance, unless the patient chooses to pay cash or has an option on their HMO insurance, called POS or Point of Service, which allows them to see physicians not on their insurance plans. If you choose to use your POS option, you will usually be responsible for meeting a deductible and you will most likely have a larger copay than you would have with your HMO option. Also, your POS option may still not cover routine care, labs or X-rays if you see a non participating physician.
Please check with your insurance prior to your visit to avoid any unexpected expenses.
At least with POS you have a choice in your care, a rapidly disappearing option in today’s health care arena.
