First-time patient appointments are scheduled with a nurse practitioner for a get acquainted visit. We set aside a half-hour appointment to assess your individual needs and develope an effective plan of care. After your first appointment you can feel free to schedule with any provider that you would like to see. What can I expect for my first appointment? When is my co-pay due? Co-pays are due in full at the time of service unless other previous arrangements have been made. We will gladly accept payments made by credit/debit card, check, and cash. What are your procedures for checking in? Due to constant changes in insurance plans we will ask you for your insurance card upon every appointment.
