Your rights and protections against surprise medical bills

Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

She is just awesome! She has been a joy to have as a dr since day one. She has such a comfortable and calming spirit. So easy to talk to and very relatable. If she hasn't been nominated for an award of some kind, she definitely needs to- she is very informative and responsive when you have a question or concern. She is hands down the best dr I have had. Thank you, I lucked up when they assigned her to me.

She provided excellent, timely, compassionate care. I could not ask for a better provider. She also LISTENS to the patient to understand the dynamics of their body, because they know their bodies best. I will drive extra miles to be provided care by Heather. She makes BSWH a great place to receive care.
