Please check with your insurance carrier or call our business office 781-944-4250 option 5 for insurance carrier information.

​

Your annual preventive physical is covered by most insurance plans at no cost to you. However, if you discuss a new or existing health condition during this visit that requires additional evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment, a separate charge may apply. This separate charge is for the 'sick' or problem-focused portion of your visit and is billed according to your insurance plan's copay, deductible, and coinsurance.

​

Referrals

If a referral is needed for non-urgent specialty care, our referral specialist will submit that electronically. It's always a good idea to make sure your child's primary care provider is aware of any care your child is receiving and that you let the specialist know to send a summary note back to our office. You may request an insurance referral either by phone at 781-944-4250 option 6, to our dedicated referral line, or via our patient portal.

​

No-shows

In order to provide timely care to our patients, we ask that you would call us if you are unable to keep your appointment. A fee of $50 will be charged (this is not covered by insurance) if you no-show for your appointment or cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice.

​

Copays
