To Our Patients
If you are a new patient or an existing patient that has had a recent change of insurance, is it important to confirm that we are an in-network provider with your plan. While we are in-network with most insurances, there are a few plans that we are considered out-of-network. For these out-of-network plan, you may incur higher costs or you may not have coverage at all. It is important to confirm this with your insurance plan. To determine in-network participation, you can call the member services number on your card and confirm if the provider you see is in network. It is important to give them the specific name of the doctor (Dr. Suzette Chin, Dr. Timothy Lin, or Dr. Melissa Rhodes) and not the practice name.
