Referrals/Authorization of Services
Some insurance companies require a referral from your primary care physician before seeing a specialist. All referral forms need to be sent to our office either electronically or in paper format prior to your appointment or you may bring it with you the day of your appointment. If we do not have your completed referral form on the day of your appointment, you may be asked to reschedule your appointment.

Medicare: Patients with Medicare coverage are accepted. Patients should be prepared to provide their Medicare card at each visit.

Please be advised that if workers compensation denies your claim, it will be filed with your private insurance carrier. If you do not have private insurance, you will be responsible for all charges.
