General Practitioners

• Primary Care
  Our physicians are considered “Specialists.” Because of this, HMO insurance plans require an insurance referral from your primary care provider before they will allow you to see a Specialist. It is your responsibility to obtain this referral from your primary care provider before you can be seen in our office.
• Emergency Care
  When you get emergency care or are treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from balance billing. In these cases, you shouldn’t be charged more than your plan’s copayments, coinsurance and/or deductible.
• Colonoscopy
  Perirectal abscess, Colon & Rectal cancer, Condyloma, Anal fistula, Anal fissure, Rectal prolapse, Colonoscopy, Diverticulitis, Constipation, Colostomy creation, Parastomal hernia repair, Anal & Rectal diseases

Endocrinologist

• Thyroid

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Carotid Ultrasound: detects build up of plaque in the carotid arteries in the neck that can block the arteries leading to the brain and can potentially cause a stroke.
• Radiology
  Providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers can bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.
