WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM A NEW PATIENT?

We are always accepting new patients and welcome you to our practice.

DO YOU ACCEPT MY INSURANCE?

We accept some insurances. Please email your insurance details to info@neuroinjurycare.com to check if we are in-network or out-of-network with your insurance. If we are out-of-network, we will let you know the cost for you to see us. If we are in-network with your insurance, we will inform you if you need authorization or a referral to come to see us.

We will reach out to the adjuster prior to your initial visit to ensure your claim is open.

WHAT IS A TELEHEALTH VIDEO VISIT

Telehealth and Video Visits have been around long before the COVID-19 pandemic. They are very useful for medication refills/adjustments, further discussion regarding a diagnosis, explanation of test results, and “spot checks” for patients with limited mobility. Insurance companies often do not pay for video visits limiting access for some patients. We check with your insurance if video visits are covered and give all our patients the option to make telehealth an integral part of their care to prevent interruption of their daily life/work schedules. We really appreciate the challenges of commuting in the Tri-State area.

Effective July 11, 2023, the NYS Workers’ Compensation Board adopted permanent regulations for telehealth appointments in certain situations for workers who sustain a work-related injury or illness.  Now, telehealth is a permanent option within the workers’ compensation system.
