Patients without Insurance
New Patients without medical insurance are required to pay
$100.00 before the time of service. Established patients are
required to pay $50.00 before the time of service. All remaining
balances need to be paid within 30 days unless the patient
sets up payment arrangements with the billing coordinator.
Medical Records
If you are requesting any medical record information, we
require that the patient sign a medical records release form.
Upon receiving the release form, charts are copied by Secure
Health Information and mailed within 1-3 working days after
they are completed. Please feel free to contact Secure at
1-509-469-9332 or 1-800-804-3510 for their price list. Download

Referrals
Each patient is responsible for knowing if their insurance
requires pre-authorization to see a specialist outside of
their primary care provider. Referrals may take 2-3 weeks
for an insurance authorization to be obtained and an appointment
with the specialist made. We will notify the patient by mail
when the referral is complete.
Prescriptions
Please call your pharmacy to request a refill. They will
then contact our office for approval. We require 24-48 hours
to refill a medication. We no longer fax prescriptions to
mail away pharmacies. You may call our office and request
a written prescription which will be signed and given to the
patient, which in turn can be mailed in by them.
Billing Information
For any billing information, please call the office to speak
with our billing coordinator directly. Due to the Hippa privacy
regulations, all billing inquires must be via telephone or
in person.
Scheduling
If you are inquiring about a setting up routine follow up,
you may do this via
e-mail. Please state the days and times that work best
for you. We will then e-mail back the date and time of your
appointment. If this is an acute issue and you are need of
a same-day appointment, please call our scheduling desk. Download
