Frequently Asked Questions

 
 

Do you Accept Insurance?

We do not accept insurance. By not billing insurance, we have more time for taking care of you and your needs rather than focussing our resources on collecting from insurance. You are welcome to submit your visit for reimbursement to your commercial insurance company. There is an app called Reimbursify that is designed to help patients submit to their insurance companies. You can also use your Health Savings Account(HSA) or Flexible Spending Account(FSA) to pay for the visit.

Any lab tests we order, like bloodwork, pap smears or mammogram, are still covered by insurance.

You can not submit your visit to medicaid or medicare- they don’t allow you to request reimbursement.

Is the video chat platform secure?

The video chat is done through a HIPAA compliant, secure platform called Doxy.me. It protects data privacy in that all audio/video communication is securely encrypted and transmitted from point-to-point such that even Doxy.me does not have access to any identifiable health information that may be communicated.

What is your cancelation policy?

Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance. If not cancelled within this time frame, your credit card will be charged $50.

Why see a specialist?
