membership :
Our practice is a membership-based medical practice based on treating our members/patients the way we would want our family to be treated.
Our members support the practice by paying an annual membership fee of $300, which helps us provide services and benefits beyond what insurance covers.
An example of the services we provide that are different than most medical practices:
Scheduling:
-We make your life easier by allowing self scheduling through our online scheduling portal.
When necessary you can schedule same day appointments.
Appointments:
-Dr. H spends additional time with you when necessary-you will never feel rushed or not listened to and we will work with you to develop a personal treatment plan that works for you.
Access:
-Members can email us anytime with questions or concerns. We answer emails in the evenings, weekends and holidays as necessary.
Treatment:
-We help coordinate follow up care with our office in addition to any other medical provider involved in your health care.
-We provide refills on medications urgently as needed and if indicated.
-We will obtain any needed authorizations on medication or treatment from your insurance company when necessary to minimize your out of pocket expenses as much as possible.
Membership Fee:
Satisfaction Guarantee:
-We want to make sure we are a good fit for you, and you for us, so we provide New Patients the option of paying the annual Membership Fee at their Initial Appointment or they may choose to wait until a subsequent appointment to make sure they would like to continue treatment with our practice.
*We do request payment by the third appointment for patients that wish to become members with our practice.
*ALL PATIENTS* (excluding Medi-Cal patients) are requested to pay a yearly fee of $300 and sign a Membership Agreement that outlines our office policies and terms of membership.
*Medi-Cal Patients: There is no yearly fee charged to Medi-Cal patients; however, should any services be requested that are not covered under Medi-Cal there could be an "out of pocket" expense for completion of such requests.
Examples of Potential Fees for Non-Members/Patients:
Any forms that are not clinically indicated.
Letters:
Disability letters/Questionnaires
Pet therapy/Airline/Education letters
Copy Medical Records:
Each patient is entitled to a single copy of their
medical record, upon written request, at no charge.
Additional copies would incur a nominal clerical charge
of 25 cents per page + a nominal clerical fee.
*We reserve the right to amend the Office Policies/Membership Agreement at any time.
