PAYMENT AND INSURANCE |
Dr. Reiss is a Medicare provider. Those patients with Medicare are required by law to pay the annual deductible (if not yet met) and the 20% co-pay. For Medicare patients with a secondary insurer, that co-pay may be paid either by your insurance or by you (and then you get reimbursed later by your insurance). Contact our office for more details. We do not participate in any Medicare managed care ("Medicare HMO") plans.
As a holistic physician who spends 1½ hours for an initial visit and 30 minutes for follow-ups, it is not possible for Dr. Reiss to be an in-network provider with any commercial insurance carriers. However, we work with a patient's insurance when they have out-of-network benefits. Most of our patients have such "PPO" or "POS" benefits with their insurer and we work successfully with their plan. All insurance companies and plans differ, so contact our office for specific details.
When you call, we can also discuss all fees. We accept only personal check and cash as payment - no credit cards - required at the time of visit. We do not bill.
