Patient Information
How Can I Schedule An Appointment?
Patients that want to visit a physician at East Side Endocrinology & Nutrition must schedule an appointment. This can be done online or by calling our office at 212-772-7628. Before your call, please be familiar with your insurance information such as policy, copays, and deductible fees in advance, and if your plan requires an insurance referral from a primary care provider.
We ask patients that cannot make their appointment to provide us with 24 hours notice of cancellation. We provide ample time for each patient, however, we do not refuse emergencies. Therefore, our office schedule can be disrupted at times. Please be patient with these changes as a priority for emergency care ensures the highest quality care for all of our patients.
Why are we out of network with insurers?
Our commitment is to deliver world-class medical care to our patients. Although insurance companies have lower out-of-pocket costs, in-network providers are often limited by restrictive regulations as per timing and scope of practice. We have chosen to be out-of-network providers to ensure our patients get the highest level of care, allowing us to cater to each patient as an individual.
Our providers are out-of-network providers with all insurance providers, including government-issued Medicare and Medicaid. We have a set fee schedule that only applies to your office visit, which will help minimize any unexpected charges.
Lab studies and medications will be covered in-network by your insurance. Our office will provide you with an itemized receipt so that you may submit your claims out-of-network for reimbursement, as per your plan’s policy, or through your FSA/HSA accounts. You may pay for the office visit with your Flex Card.**
This does not apply to Medicare/Medicaid/Medicare Advantage Patients. Please call our office if you have further questions.
