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.

Lauren patiently listened to exactly what I was talking about and asked questions in order to clarify my statements concerning my health. She was genuinely concerned in figuring out solutions to my somewhat complex overlaying recent health problems and chronic health problems. She is the first nurse practitioner, in this area, who has taken the time to gather health information from me that went far beyond the basic data collection My husband and I were very impressed..
