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.

My experience is in my words depressing because I did this to my body and I don't want this to happen to anyone but if the case did arise and I have to recommend someone it would be this doctor because he does have great bits on manners he explained things and I really appreciate him taking care of me.

I have so much confidence in him! He was incredibly knowledgeable and did a great job explaining things to me. He answered all of my questions in a comprehensive and instructive way. I appreciate his approach and the plan he created for me. In doing so, he considered that which is important to me, my quality of life, and long-tern health goals. He also responded very quickly with an overview of my lab results. In addition, he has a great bedside manner and his office staff was friendly and efficient.
