Our goal is to provide quality medical care that is simplified, efficient, and more affordable. Over the years, many people have the misconception that “Private Pay” medical offices are expensive and cater to the rich. In reality, the point is to simplify healthcare, make it more cost effective, and pass those savings on to patients. Administrative costs that come from dealing with health insurance companies make up a large part of the expenses for medical offices that take insurance. By eliminating these costs, expenses for the office are reduced, which allows the office to pass these savings on to the patient. As a result, fees can be lowered, and, pricing is upfront and simplified. In addition, because private pay practices do not have to wait to see if, and how much, the health insurance company is going to pay them, patients do not have to worry about getting additional bills from the office, months after their visit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612fd712295535076aedcf6d/5ca34051-3c83-4e6f-b54a-d53244614b5c/IMG_2452.JPG Our Vision - Can I go to a private pay office? Whether you have health insurance, or not, anyone is able to come to a private pay office. For those who have health insurance, private pay offices are typically considered to be “out of network”. Claims forms can be given to patients who have insurance so that payments may be applied to their “out of network” deductibles. Because insurance companies are not involved, no referrals are necessary to come to the office. Simply call the office, and we’ll be happy to get you scheduled. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612fd712295535076aedcf6d/e68c6b12-f5fe-4156-92dc-f5853dce5d9b/preview16.jpg Our Vision - What are some advantages of a private pay office? As stated above, simplifying and bringing fees down are two benefits. Another benefit of a private pay office is privacy. Because no contracts have been signed with health insurances, they have no access to patients’ health records without consent of the patient. For this reason, a private pay office is a good option for those looking for a second, or independent, medical opinion. With health insurance companies lowering reimbursements over the years, there is more pressure than ever for traditional medical offices to see more patients, to make up for the lower reimbursements. Because of this, providers have less time to spend with patients, and patients often feel like their concerns are not always addressed. This often makes traditional offices seem more like assembly line businesses, and less like medical offices. In contrast, patients will experience more personalized care at a private pay office where the doctor can spend time with patients and listen to their concerns. https://www.chattanoogaspineandbody.com/materials-for-learning daily 0.75 2022-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612fd712295535076aedcf6d/7405c117-9a24-4819-b063-3e1ead880928/DAN+Logo.jpg Recreational Dive Physicals - Divers Alert Network DAN is the world’s most recognized and respected dive safety organizations, and has remained committed to the health and well-being of divers for 40 years.
