Billing Info

Quality of care is a patient's first priority when seeking medical attention. This is our priority too. You will also find that our fees are comparable to other medical offices in the area and are significantly lower than those charged by hospital emergency rooms. If you qualify for a sliding fee scale, it will apply to a variety of services.

We accept Medicare, Medi-Cal, Dental-Cal and many public and private insurance plans. You may qualify for a sliding scale discount. We also have special discount programs for eligible patients in family planning, prenatal care, well-child care, immunizations, school health physicals and mental health. Depending on eligibility and billing requirements, payment is expected at the time services are rendered; all co-payments must be paid before services are rendered. If you need to cancel a visit, you must call 24 hours in advance. Failure to cancel an appointment will result in a "no show" fee.

If you have Medicare or private insurance that covers doctor's visits, you should always bring your insurance card with you. If your insurance does not cover services provided by the clinic, you may be eligible for a discount.

If you have Medi-Cal, you should always bring your plastic Benefit Identification Card (BIC) to your appointments. In order for us to verify eligibility, we must know the number listed on your Benefit Identification Card.

Should you have any billing questions, please contact the clinic site where you received your services.
