Accepted Insurance
Our clinics accept most major health insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid and private commercial health insurance plans. If you would like to confirm that your plan is accepted at our clinics, please call the clinic you plan to visit.
Before you are seen by one of our physicians, learn what your policy covers, including your co-pay and deductible amounts. Also, know what service benefits are included such as immunization and well visits. We are happy to file your claims to the insurance company.
Please also realize many insurances do not cover full amounts, and you may owe for your service. We ask that you are prepared to pay your balance at the time the service is provided. If needed, we will work out payment plans provided you make a payment to start with.
If you have any questions, our Billing Department will be happy to assist you. Please call (843) 878-1004 for more information.
If you would like to make a payment using our online payment system, please log into our Secure Patient Portal.
Free Preventive Care Services
Keeping your family and yourself healthy includes preventive care. Often, insurance plans cover preventive services without charging a co-pay or co-insurance — even if you haven’t met your yearly deductible.
In fact, all plans offered through the new health insurance Marketplace (established by the Affordable Care Act, sometimes called “Obamacare”) are required to cover certain preventive services at no cost to patients.

If you have health insurance through another source, such as an employer or broker, the requirement for 100% coverage may not yet apply. However, most traditional plans still cover preventive services, and some may include full coverage.
To confirm your level of coverage for preventive care and to make sure your insurance is on our list of accepted plans, check with your insurance provider or employer. Or our practice staff may be able help you. Call your Primary Care Physician today to schedule your preventive care.
