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.

Dr. Wenkert is a competent, authoritative and well respected physician. I always know that if I have questions, concerns or need explanation of any symptomatic abnormalities that Dr. Wenkert will give me answers. He expresses concern for my health....and he is an excellent communicator. I respect his counsel and his acumen.

Dr Wenkert was very professional and thorough. I only wish my primary was as good as my Endocrinologist. But this is about Dr Wenkert and I don't want to take this survey from him. I would strongly recommend Dr Wenkert to family and friends. I'm very fortunate to have him as my doctor this visit was great. I could tell by his demeanor he cares for my well-being

Dr. Wenkert has been a good provider for me and seems to know his stuff. However, he seems to be overworked or likes to take longer with his patients because every time I have an appointment with him I usually don't get to see him until 15 - 20 minutes after my appointment time.
