| Insurance and Fees |
Insurance Information
Medicare
If you are fortunate enough to qualify for Medicare, most of our services will be covered. However, you may be responsible for a portion of services unless you have a secondary insurance policy. A “secondary” insurance policy will usually pay your deductible and most co-pays not covered by Medicare. If we determine that you are responsible for a portion of your services, we will ask that you pay upfront at time of service.
Medi-Cal
If you have Medi-Cal, our services will not be covered as we are not contracted with Medi-Cal. As such, payment for services is due at the time of the visit, and you will not be reimbursed by your insurance company.
HMOs
If you are covered under an HMO plan, our services will not be covered as we are not contracted with any HMOs. As such, payment for services is due at the time of the visit, and you will not be reimbursed by your insurance company.
PPO Insurance Plans
PPO type insurance plans generally cover at least some portion of our services. If you have a PPO, you will be responsible for payment in full at the time of the visit. We will then submit a claim to your insurance company electronically on your behalf. The insurance company will in turn send you any reimbursement. We are not contracted with any PPO insurances, so we are considered “out of network”. As such, you will usually be reimbursed for a portion of visits and treatments, but not as much as if you went to an “in network” or “contracted” PPO doctor.
Experience has demonstrated that reimbursement from PPO's runs any where from 80% on down. We encourage you to call your insurance company ahead of time to find out how much they will pay for visits to our office.
In the FORMS section is a script entitled "Out of Network Quote of Benefits" which you can use when you call them. With this information they can help you determine your reimbursement for osteopathic treatments and some office visits. If you are interested in osteopathic treatments, please stress to your insurance company that you are having an osteopathic treatment, not chiropractic care or physical therapy. If you need assistance with determining your benefits or the amount of reimbursement to expect, we will be happy to assist you.
Fees for Services
Initial visits for osteopathic treatments and holistic health evaluations usually last 1 1/2 hours and include any or all of the following; a complete review of medical, family, surgical and social history, a physical exam, nutrition and lifestyle analysis, addressing acute and or chronic issues, osteopathic treatment, and a discussion of follow-up and goals we will work towards. The fee for the initial visit is $275.00 for both adults and children.
Follow up visits for osteopathic treatments usually last 45 minutes to 1 hour and is $175.00. Follow up visits for recheck of acute or chronic medical issues, lab results and questions for the doctor are $95.00 and last 30 min
Complete physical exams for preventative care, well woman exams, school physicals and routine well child checks are $275.00 for new patients (1 1/2 hours) and $185.00 for established patients (1 hour)
Sports and employee physicals are $95.00 for established patients $195.00 for new patients.
If any additional procedures, tests or labs are done at any visit there may be a charge for these in addition to the prices stated above.
When labs and radiology are ordered they are usually billed directly to your insurance company by the facility (lab, radiology group etc) handling the order, meaning you usually do not have to pay for them at the time they are rendered.
Forms of Payment
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Check or Cash and payment is due at time of services except in the case of some Medicare patients.
