  • Access to specialty clinics

Insurance and Payment Policy 

Our office visits are billed to your insurance provider as an outpatient facility for Prisma Health. As a result, you may see two bills, one from University Medical Group for the professional fee and one from Prisma Health for the facility bill.

Medicare and Medicaid have provisions in their billing structure to allow payment of these professional charges. Many private insurance payers do not. If you have questions about whether your private insurance would cover your visit to our office, please contact your insurance company for guidance on your coverage.

We will file your insurance for you. You will need to pay insurance co-payments and other money owed at the time of service, unless previous payment arrangements have been made. All co-payments are expected during check-in. We accept credit cards, checks and cash

For a Good Visit and Better Health for You

Your visit with the provider will go better if you …

  • Are ready to say how you are doing (at work, at home, with sleep, etc.)
  • Write down and bring a list of questions
  • Bring a list of all doctors you see and their contact information
  • Ask for help in creating and sharing a complete record of your care
  • Bring all medicines (prescriptions and over-the counter) that you take

New appointments. To reduce wait times, we see patients by appointment only. When you are sick and need to come in right away, we can provide same-day appointments.

Missed appointments. If you realize at any time that you cannot keep an appointment, please call our office.

After hours. For all medical emergencies, please call 911. The practice provides extended hours nights and weekends, as needed. Patients also have access to an after-hours nurse triage system for events that occur outside of office hours. This service will answer medical questions to determine the level of urgency for follow-up.
