We are trying to simplify the preparation of insurance claims thereby holding down the costs that are unrelated to the delivery of good medical care. The receipt form we give you at the end of each visit contains all the information needed for your insurance to process your claim. Please remember that insurance is considered a method of reimbursing the patient for fees paid to the doctor and is not a substitute for payment. However, our office will cooperate fully in assisting you to complete your insurance forms so that you may receive your maximum insurance benefits. For in-hospital care, we will bill your insurance company directly.

If you belong to a managed care program, it is very important that you read and understand your plan's policies. Especially those involving referrals, emergency room visits, participating hospitals, pharmacies and x-ray facilities.

Presently we do not accept, with limited exceptions, Medicare assignment. However, Medicare will continue to reimburse you for our services at the same rate as in the past. The amount you receive, and any amount you received in the past, represents what Medicare would be willing to reimburse us. We firmly believe this level of reimbursement to be too unfairly low to allow the practice of quality medicine. We will continue to deliver personable, knowledgeable and thoughtful medical care, and believe so doing deserves, not excessive, but reasonable compensation. Through experience, it is possible to keep the number and monetary costs of tests and medications minimal and to keep the interval between appointments such that good medical care is delivered at a reasonable cost. We are aware that it is always possible to buy a cheaper product, but the end result is usually a cheaper product.

Below is a list of participating insurance plans. If you do not find your plan listed, please contact our office, as your plan may have been added.
