JennaYes. We currently file all forms of insurance including all government programs.

Do you accept patients without insurance?

AlexusYes. We accept patients with no insurance. At your visit to our office we will require that you visit with our financial coordinator to arrange a payment plan if you are unable to pay for your visit in full.

Do you provide immunizations?

We do provide some adult immunizations in our clinic. If you are interested in getting an immunization for a particular disease, please inquire with your provider.

Unfortunately, we do not provide pediatric immunizations in our clinic. For all pediatric immunizations we refer patients to Public Health. We feel this is a better program for keeping all your child’s immunizations current and in one location. Additionally, the costs of immunizations through Public Health are much less than what we can provide to you.

Do you treat chronic pain patients?

Unfortunately, chronic pain patients present a special problem in medicine due to their many interactive medical conditions. The management of chronic pain is best handled by physicians who are specially trained in the management of chronic pain. Since our physicians feel that this area of medicine is best handled by those specialists, we do not manage chronic pain patients. We will be happy to direct you to a qualified specialist in this area of treatment. Our providers are happy to manage any medical issues not related to your chronic but will not manage the pain treatment.

How do I get my prescriptions refilled?

KerryThe best way to have your prescription refilled is to contact your pharmacy. They will verify whether you have additional refilled remaining and if not, contact us for refill authorization. If you have not seen your physician for over a year since your last refill you will be required to be seen in the clinic by your provider to evaluate the effectiveness of the medication you are requesting.
