New Patient?
New patient Policy.
We are happy to start offering services for new patients! It's a great opportunity to provide information about our services we offer prior your future visit.
Please note: We highly recommend all new patients to be familiar with our New Patient Policy before contacting the office.
1 . PATIENT ELIGIBILITY
All patients will request information by calling their insurance company prior receiving services in our practice, to obtain information such as; Benefits,
referrals [Date of Issue and Expiration date], Prior authorizations and if our provider (Dr. Alejandro Santos Leal) is in network. Once you reached your insurance company, please request a reference number, for your own documentation purposes. There's some PPO's, POS's and HMO's Insurance that require referrals. Please verify with your Insurance company.
2 . REFERRALS
If you are referred by a Physicians Practice, you will need to contact your insurance company prior to requesting an appointment in our practice. If our practice is out of network with your Insurance and referral, you may reach your physician to request a new referral to another covered facility. This will prevent receiving notifications by the office practice after the services rendered are not covered.
