Elmira, NY or Telemedicine anywhere in the world

Full payment is due prior to the time of service if you do not have Aetna or United Health Care, unless a prior payment plan has been made, no matter the type of insurance reimbursement you may receive. Checks, cash, and all major credit cards (including HSA/FSA account cards) accepted.  If needing to pay with cash, please call the office at 607-738-2091 to arrange. If your check does not process a $15 fee will be added.

If the visit is cancelled prior to 24 hours you will not be charged a cancellation fee. If your visit is cancelled within 24 hours prior to the visit, there will be a $25 cancellation fee. No cancellation fee for Snow Days or inclement weather.

We can either submit to the insurance company directly or can give you a form (superbill) to submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement of the cost of the visit. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your insurance and plan. Some insurances will also reimburse for telehealth.  Calling your insurance company to ask their policies and to submit for pre-approval may be helpful. 

Please let them know your visit with me is urgent and request a rush on the process. The billing company I use will be the ones in contact with your insurance company. This includes writing letters, talking on the phone, or submitting any paperwork.

Lactation *should* be covered according to the Affordable Healthcare Act.  Please see this
