You will be asked to pay the co-payment as assigned by your insurer. If the amount of the co-pay for an office visit is not on your card, you can call your insurer to verify the amount of your copay.

At the time you sign your insurance contract, you are often times agreeing to a deductible. The deductible is the amount you have agreed to pay out of pocket before your insurance starts paying for anything regarding your healthcare.

Some patients have $0 deductible, some have a $500 and some $2500 deductible, or more. The amounts vary. However, if you have not met your deductible through your insurance, you will be asked to pay for your office visit in full at the time of check out.

Thus, it is important that you call your insurer and verify your deductible.

Some insurances do not routinely cover "annual physicals". GHI insurer is one common example. Many insurances do not cover employment related physicals, tuberculin skin tests, tetanus vaccines boosters or travel immunizations.

Our office also provides some services generally not covered by the insurers such as filling out school, work or camp forms. Please review our "form fees" as well as other general fees for uninsured.
