Frequently Asked Questions
Prescriptions
If you need prescription refills, please call your pharmacy and let them know what you need refilled. The pharmacy will contact us for the approval. Please notify your pharmacy at least 1-2 days before you complete your medication. Prescription refills on controlled substances i.e., (ADD,ADHD meds) require 24 hr notice, if you fail to pick up your prescription within the time allowed (5 days) a $5.00 charge will apply for any additional prescriptions. All other prescriptions require medical supervision and we will request to see the patient to determine a plan of treatment.
Insurance and Billing
We participate with the local managed care plans and many national insurance plans. However it is your responsibility to understand whether your insurance has limits on the doctors you can see, or the services you can receive.
If you provide complete and accurate information about your insurance, we will submit claims to your insurance carrier and receive payments for services. Depending on your insurance coverage, you may be responsible for co-payments, co-insurance, or other deductible amounts. These will be due at the time of service. For your convenience, we accept cash, checks, Visa and MasterCard. Please be sure to bring your insurance card with you to every visit. We will ask for a copy of your insurance card at each visit to ensure your claims are processed correctly. We encourage you to contact our financial department to discuss all options regarding payment towards your balance and/or any questions relating to your account.
Referrals

If your child requires a follow-up with a specialist please call our office.
