Medication & Your Care
An examination for proper diagnosis and treatment is usually required before a prescription can be given. Feel free to ask questions about your treatment or prescription. We want you to clearly understand the treatment, medications, the anticipated results and any possible side effects. Also, if you are concerned about the cost of a particular drug, ask about an alternative.
Medication refills can only be handled during regular office hours. Please plan ahead if you are running low on medication. On-call physicians cannot refill medications.

SmartTalk
To help remind you of your appointment, we have implemented SmartTalk, an automated appointment reminder system. SmartTalk will contact you two days before your appointment to remind you of your scheduled appointment. If you do not want to participate in the reminder program, please inform the receptionist.

Insurance & Billing
As a convenience, primary and secondary insurances are filed by our office. Should you wish to file your own insurance, you will receive a receipt which contains all necessary filing information. Fees are based on reasonable and customary charges for the area. An estimated fee for any procedure will be given on request.

Medicare, Medicaid, worker's compensation, many managed care plans (i.e. HMOs, PPOs, etc.) and most commercial insurances accepted.
