Medical Insurance Plans Patient Referral Information:

1.  Insurance Coverage:

a.  At every visit, it is important for all patients to inform our office staff of your current insurance coverage.

2.  Referral Information:

• In order to see Dr. Berger, many insurance plans and most HMO’s require a referral from the primary care physician. It is the patient's responsibility to have the referral completed prior to your first visit. If a referral has not been approved by your insurance plan, you may have to reschedule the visit or become responsible for the charges associated with your visit. Please check with your primary care physician before your visit to make sure they have obtained the required referral from your insurance plan.

Co-Payment Information:

• Many insurance plans require a co-payment each time the patient sees a physician. We expect payment of your co-pay fee at the time of service. We accept cash, personal check, Mastercard/Visa.

Patient Responsibility:

• Patients are responsible for full payment of the amount billed to them on their monthly statement. If there is a question, please contact our Billing Specialist, at (305) 932-5551.
