This draft must be checked against the practice’s actual procedures. It is not an adopted patient notice or an acknowledgment of receipt.
Appointments require office confirmation
Submitting an online request does not reserve a time. The office must review and confirm the appointment, visit type, location, and any preparation instructions. If your needs are urgent, call the office. For an emergency, call 911.
Cancellations and rescheduling
Please call (718) 689-7355 as soon as you know you cannot attend or need a different time. Do not assume a website message changes or cancels an appointment until the office confirms it.
Practice review: Confirm any advance-notice requirement and late-cancellation or missed-appointment fee before this policy is adopted. This draft does not establish a deadline or fee.
Insurance and patient responsibility
Office visits accept Medicare, Medicaid, Fidelis, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, GHI, EmblemHealth NYC PPO, and TRICARE East. Participation depends on your specific plan and visit. Call the office and your insurer to confirm network status, benefits, referrals, and patient responsibility before care.
Acceptance of an insurance plan does not guarantee payment for a particular service. Ask about copays, deductibles, coinsurance, authorizations, and services that may not be covered.
Cash-pay house calls
House calls are cash-pay only: $350 per visit within Queens and $500 per visit in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, or Staten Island. Home visits are limited to New York City’s five boroughs. The office confirms the service area, clinical fit, availability, and what is included before accepting a visit.
House calls are not billed to insurance under this stated cash-pay offering. Confirm payment instructions and any additional services or charges with the office before the visit. No payment is collected through the general website request form.
Registration and health information
Complete the practice’s registration and intake materials through its approved secure channel when provided. Bring identification, insurance information if applicable, a medication list, and relevant records. Keep sensitive medical details out of ordinary email and the general callback form.
Contacting the office
Call (718) 689-7355 for scheduling and patient-care questions. Use abramovmedicalcare@gmail.com for general administrative questions only. The public website form provides phone or email follow-up and does not enroll you in automated texting.
Items the practice must approve
Office hours, cancellation notice requirements and fees, payment timing and methods, refunds, house-call coverage and inclusions, insurance participation, response expectations, and the policy effective date remain subject to practice confirmation.
