- Primary CareWe try to simplify the preparation of insurance claims and thereby hold down costs unrelated to the delivery of quality medical care. We bill directly to most major health insurance plans as an additional service to our patients. Please verify that your insurance information and address is correct with our receptionist. Many insurance plans require a referral from a primary care provider in order for your visit to be considered a covered benefit. It is your responsibility to maintain a current referral for all initial and subsequent follow-up visits to the clinic. Upon your request, our receptionist can check your referral status for your convenience. Please remember that medical insurance is a contract between you and the insurance company. Payment of the professional fee remains your responsibility. Please feel free to discuss insurance questions with our billing department.
