While we do not submit claims to commercial health insurance or Medicare, we heartily welcome patients who have these plans.

For individuals who are enrolled in a commercial health insurance plan:

Commercial insurers may provide some reimbursement for office visits and testing done at our facility, depending on the type of plan that you have. We highly recommend that you call your insurance company ahead of time to find out if you have ‘out-of-network’ benefits (if you wish to be partially reimbursed by your insurance company).

Even if you don’t have out-of-network benefits, our ‘direct pay’ model is much more affordable than most people think. If you are one of the many individuals or families who have a high-deductible plan, you may save a significant amount of money on treatment and testing by coming to our practice!

For individuals who are enrolled in Medicare:

At our practice, Medicare (Part B) cannot be billed, nor a claim submitted by either the practice or the patient for office-based services. This is because our providers have “opted out” of Medicare for all medical services, including cardiovascular and primary care services.

This means that all office visits and testing that are performed at our facility cannot be reimbursed by Medicare.

However, Medicare will pay for any covered tests and treatments that are ordered by our medical providers, if those services are performed at a different facility that accepts Medicare payments.

In other words, you will pay ‘out of pocket’ for any office visits at our practice, but we can refer you to a different medical facility for testing and treatment (if you need it), so that your testing can be covered by Medicare (if that’s what you prefer).
