Quality Internal Medicine participates in the following health insurance plans:

Quality Internal Medicine and Dr. Eapen are no longer accepting new patients at this time but please call our office if you would like to be put on a Waitlist in case this changes in the future. All new patients are required to enroll and stay in our Personalized Membership Health Program administered by Signature MD. Please see our Personalized Membership Health Program at AFFILIATED SPECIAL SERVICES.

Quality Internal Medicine has not participated in health insurance plans except for Medicare and Tricare for many years. We have greatly appreciated the trust and confidence patients have placed in us to allow us to be their source of primary care regardless of our practice’s insurance participation. Despite our limited insurance plan participation, our patients have chosen to get their care with us even though we do not participate in their medical insurance because of the type of proactive, empathetic, high quality care we deliver and our sensitivity to the inherent increased out of network expenses that are incurred.

We do our best to limit the increased out of pocket expenses of those who see us out of network (ie,“self pay”) by suggesting that diagnostic testing be done with reference laboratories, radiology groups and other diagnostic testing providers that participate in the insurance plans of such patients so these fees are billed directly to their insurance companies by those entities. Thus, “out of network” expenses payable at the time of office appointments are limited just to our office visit charges and any other service or diagnostic testing that you may prefer to get with us. An invoice is provided detailing services rendered and fees paid so that you can submit this to your insurance company for “out of network” reimbursement. This can make getting care with Quality Internal Medicine still affordable for those seeing us “out of network”.

As a good faith estimate of typical charges for common services offered, please note the following:

Office visit charge for time and work of physician for new patients: $100-$400
Office visit charge for time and work of physician for established patients: $70-350

Nursing visit for established patients: $30-50

EKG $95
Laboratory test (ie, blood, urine, other body sampling tests) generally $10-200 with some specialized tests being significantly higher

If you are uninsured or “self pay”, you will be informed of an estimate of the anticipated charges for your visit at the time you schedule.

Regardless of our practice’s health insurance participation, all patients must provide documentation of any current medical insurance they have at each visit to receive services. This will allow us to manage any prior authorizations required by insurance for prescriptions and any outside testing recommended by Dr. Eapen as well as submit to Medicare and Tricare where applicable. If you cannot provide this documentation, and still wish to be seen, you will be expected to pay-in-full for all services rendered. If plan participation in Medicare or Tricare is subsequently confirmed, you will be appropriately refunded promptly.
