What is Cancer?
Cancer is not one disease, but a general term covering many distinct diseases. Each type of cancer has patterns that may differ from other types of cancer, and the same disease often affects one person differently from another. Because there are so many variables, different types of treatments are required and no one treatment is right for everyone. That’s why our physicians customize a course of treatment to meet each patient’s specific needs and condition.
When I arrive, what can I expect?
The doctors see patients on an appointment basis. Wheelchairs are available at all locations for patients who need assistance. When you arrive for your appointment, please be sure to check in with the receptionist. At that time, the receptionist will provide you with information and direct you to the next area.
What health insurance do you work with?
We work with a variety of insurance companies. On your first visit you will meet with one of our financial counselors to discuss what your insurance company will or will not cover. They will also collect all the insurance information, open an account for each patient, post payments to all accounts, file insurance claims and send out monthly statements.
What will my insurance cover?
Financial counselors are available to discuss on an individual basis what your insurance company will or will not cover. They will verify your coverage and pre-authorized medical procedures if required by your insurance company. They will also set up financial arrangements for all non-covered amounts.
