Our Policies

Here you can find more information about our offices and policies. If you have any questions not answered here, please visit our CONTACT US page, where you can either fill in a brief form, email us or call us.

Appointments

New patients will be scheduled with the first available physician unless requested otherwise by you or the referring physician. The office staff will try to accommodate your request to see one of our doctors at a convenient time and office location.

Follow up appointments will be made with your chosen doctor. However, in case of an emergency and if your physician is not available, you may be seen by the on-call physician. You can subsequently follow up with your physician for continuity of care.

You can either contact us at (408) 347-9001 to request for an appointment or log in our Secured Patient Portal by clicking here.

Authorization

We are specialist providers of Physicians Medical Group of San Jose (PMG), Santa Clara County IPA (SCIPA), Premier Care Medical Group, Valley Health Plan, Affinity Medical Group and Northern California Physicians Network (NCPN - formerly known as NCAMG).

We are required to obtain authorizations from primary care physicians prior to an office consultation. Subsequently, we can initiate authorization requests for patients for follow-up appointments.

Cancellations

We request 48 hours notice of cancellation of an office appointment and 72 hours for cancellation of any procedure. A cancellation fee is applied if you do not notify our office with this notice or fail to keep your scheduled appointment/procedure.

Finances

Co-pay and deductibles are collected at the time of service provided as required by California Law Business Professional 1680U. Installed payments may be considered on a case-by-case basis and must be arranged in advance. We take American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa and Cash.

    Labs, X-Rays & Facilities

    We make the best effort to send you to the laboratories and facilities that are contracted with your insurance. However, insurance plans often change and alter their policies and networks. You are solely responsible for your own health insurance and payments. Our office only has a professional relationship with these ancillary service facilities. We have no control and cannot be responsible for their policies, services and charges. Please check with your insurance policy.
