| INSURANCES ACCEPTED |
|
We accept most traditional, HMO and PPO health care plans. The office staff will bill traditional insurance plans and Medicare for you. All copay's and deductibles are due and payable at time of service.
Please notify our office immediately if you change insurance policies. For HMO and PPO patients, one of our physicians can act as your Primary Care Physician (PCP). In that role he will provide all of your general medical care, including:
Because Dr. Johnson provides such a broad spectrum of care, we prefer to manage your medical needs through our office as much as possible. This will ensure that your care is handled by a medical team that knows your needs and medical history. If you think you need a referral to a medical specialist, such as a cardiologist, you must first visit one of our physicians. They will determine your medical needs, then (if appropriate) write a referral form and direct you to the correct specialist. A referral form must be obtained before you visit a specialist. Referral forms will be generated within five working days of your visit. If pre-authorization is not obtained, you may be responsible for payment of the insurance claim. * Referrals will be generated where medically necessary. It is the responsibility of the patient to pick up the referral prior to the scheduled appointment that they are being referred to. There will be no retroactive referrals generated. |
