Important Information
Please be advised that it is the patient's responsibility to obtain the necessary authorizations from their insurance company prior to seeing a doctor. Prior authorization is also required for any x-rays that are taken during your visit.
If we have not received written authorization prior to your appointment, we will require you to make full payment at that time, or your appointment must be rescheduled.
If you are uncertain whether a pre-certification is required, please contact your benefits department. If you are a member of an HMO/HealthNet, you must get prior approval from your primary care physician. The necessary telephone numbers are usually located on the back of your insurance card. If you have or are making a Workers' compensation claim, you must obtain prior approval from your adjuster.
If your insurance company/Workers' compensation carrier requires information from the doctor regarding the need for a visit, please let us know and we will forward the required paperwork.
Medicare does not require pre-certification.
