New Year Insurance Changes

Dear Families and Friends,
I hope everyone enjoyed a safe and joyous holiday season. Now that the holidays are behind and the kids are back to school, it's likely that many of you will be in the office for sick visits and of course your yearly annual well child check ups.

The new year brings for many of our families changes in either insurance carrier or simply changes of your policy withing the same carrier. Many employers have moved from traditional HMO and PPO plans to High deductible , HSA plans where deductible is the part the patient owes the doctor's office. I know from experience these changes can be confusing, and I am happy to help answer any questions you may have regarding insurance billing. With that said, it is ultimately the patient/parents responsibility to know what is a covered service or is not a covered service on your individual plans. Finally, please remember to bring your newest insurance card with you to each visit and to be mindful of changes to your individual policy. Thank you in advance for cooperation.
Sincerely,
Kristin Silver
Office Manager
