Our office is open Monday through Friday, 8 am until 5 pm.
INSURANCE
We accept all major insurance plans except TennCare. We also participate in two Medicare Advantage plans: Cariten Sr. and Windsor. Our insurance specialists will help you navigate your insurance coverage, file claims and help with pre-authorization for treatment. Patients are required to pay insurance deductibles or co-payments at the time of service. In addition to cash and checks, we accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express.
Please call our office if you have any questions about insurance or to make payment arrangements. We are happy to help.
PRESCRIPTIONS
If you need a prescription refilled before you next appointment, please call our office to make arrangements. When calling, be sure to have ready all prescription information and the phone number of your pharmacy. Not all prescriptions can be filled the same day, so please allow at least 48 hours for a prescription refill.

Medical records can be transferred to another physician or medical practice with a proper, written request from the patient.
