Fees

Dr. Martorella is committed to spending adequate time with each patient to listen to their medical history and prescribe the proper treatment.  As a result, our practice must uphold the following policy. 

PRIVATE INSURANCE :

Dr. Martorella is an "out of network" physician for all private insurance plans and full payment is expected at the time of the visit.  Patients will be given a receipt to submit on their own to their insurance company for reimbursement.  Dr. Martorella is not responsible for the amount of reimbursement patients receive from their insurance company. Please call the office to discuss further fee information.

MEDICARE :

As of August 15, 2008, Dr. Martorella has "opted out" of Medicare.  Medicare guidelines forbid our office from submitting any claims to Medicare either directly or through a secondary insurace plan. Patients will be asked to sign a "private contract" indicating that they are responsible for full payment at the time of the visit and that the visit fee will not be reimbursed by Medicare.

All laboratory tests sent out of the office and radiology studies requested by Dr. Martorella will continue to be covered at the discretion of Medicare.
