Patient Intake

Interview

Free, 15-30 minutes

During this brief first interview, we’ll talk about your responses to the health questionnaire and how we might work together to address your concerns. This interview gives us a chance to meet and figure out if my clinic is a good fit for you.

***All plans include deeply discounted labs and imaging.

Follow-Up Options

Initial visit

$600

All new patients receive a 1-hour initial consultation and unlimited visits, phone calls, communication on your behalf (to insurance, other physicians, etc), texts, and emails for the following 1 month.

Monthly membership

$300 per month

Includes unlimited visits, phone calls, communication on your behalf (to insurance, other physicians, etc), texts and emails.

À la carte consultation

$400 for 30-minute follow up

I understand that not all patients who need an endocrinologist need a full membership. For patients who expect to be seen less than 2x/year and need minimal communication between visits, using our consultation model may make the best sense. Patients can still enjoy doctor’s appointments, deeply discounted labs and imaging and the convenience of our clinic in an à la carte fashion.

Calls, texts, emails, orders, paperwork and calls on patients behalf will be billed by time spent.

Payment policy

Dr. Maria Isabel Esparza MD, PLLC is an out-of-network provider, including Medicare.  This means full payment is due from the patient at time of service and we do not bill your insurance company.

Per your insurance company, you will be financially responsible for our fee, but possibly reimbursed directly to you, after your applicable copayment, annual deductible, or coinsurance [all determined & calculated by your insurance plan].  You may be responsible for costs in excess of those allowed by your health benefits plan.

We strongly encourage you to obtain as much reimbursement for our services from your insurance company as possible, but it is your responsibility to submit the paperwork. You may want to know what your insurance company considers ‘ordinary and reasonable fees’ for the CPT codes below. Please call the phone number on the back of your card to find this information.

New patient consultation 99205

Telemedicine follow up 99214 with -95 modifier

Any lab work and radiology we order is billed by the respective lab and radiology organizations. Usually (but no guarantee) our lab & radiology orders will be reimbursed at your in-network rates as long as you go to those in-network labs and radiology organizations. You are responsible for obtaining this information and free to use whatever facility you choose.

For MEDICARE patients: We have opted out of Medicare, and as such, to our knowledge,  they will not reimburse you at all for our visits or related expenses. They will not pay lab work, physical therapy, or radiology connected to your visit. This includes supplemental plans or Advantage plans. Most of our Medicare patients get blood work by their usual doctor, under our recommendations. Please contact Medicare directly for details.

Cancellations happen and we fully understand unusual things come up. Those less than 24 hours will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis but in general, canceling within 24 hours will incur a 50% visit fee. Appointment slots are precious time for us and other patients who would like a consultation.
