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 also was careful to ensure I got the care I needed to address the problem I sought help for. Really a great physician, as was the attending physician and care practioner who screened, performed preliminary checks and in-patient procedure for lab work. OUTSTANDING group of professionals!!

She was thorough, kind and very understanding about my attitude vs my age. I really appreciate that. When she found out that I don't feel my chronological age, she went along with me and gave me helpful suggestions rather than the usual rhetoric of "as we age, we can expect...". I truly appreciate her attitude toward me and her thoughtfulness. Thank you, Dr. Furukawa!
