We do not accept insurance for any service at Beverly Medical Center and we are opted out of Medicare. However, our patients are provided with a Superbill at the time of their appointment and are able to use this to file for reimbursement directly with their insurance company. Our Medicare patients are not eligible to file their Superbills with Medicare since we are opted out.
However most insurances including most Medicare plans cover a good number of the blood tests and and x-rays ordered by our practitioners.
The appointment is a 1 ½-2hr long evaluation that is spent with the practitioner with whom your appointment was scheduled. During that time you will discuss your concerns, medical back ground, testing and treatment options. Also included in the initial cost are a urinalysis and physical exam. Due to the length of the appointment, we take a deposit at the time of scheduling. This will apply to your total new patient visit cost when you come in that day and can be refunded if you choose to cancel as long as it is 24 hours prior to your appointment.
Our follow ups are charged by the amount of time spent in the appointment with the practitioner only. If you feel like you need more than a one hour appointment, we do request that you inform the scheduling coordinator at the time of your appointment. Before the new patient appointment all patients are given a consent regarding these fees and we are happy to copy this for any patient if it is requested. Please email us at info@beverlymedicalcenter.com or call us at 919-844-4552 if you have any questions.
Most of our patients will need their first follow up within 2-4 weeks of the initial consultation following initial testing. After that we order follow up testing, evaluations and monitoring about every 3-4 months depending on the medical issues and the results of the initial testing. Sometimes testing is done even closer together if adjustments are being made to hormones and other issues. Patients who are just consulting us for hormone balance have labs done on a certain schedule.
