PATIENT INFORMATION:

Due to high volume of patients needing appointments at our clinics, we have a wait time of about two-three weeks for appointments. With this in mind, it’s important for our patients to provide us with notice if they need to cancel their appointments so we can provide care to others who are waiting to be seen.
In order to provide the highest quality care for each of our patients, we’re asking for all patients of IRPC to keep their appointments unless it’s absolutely necessary to cancel.

All co-pays and deductibles are due at the time of service. For your convenience we gladly accept cash and credit cards. You must have your insurance card at time of check-in.

IRPC accepts all major insurance carriers (including Medicare, Medicaid and most other insurances). We also will pre-certify any insurance requirements as a courtesy for our patients. Please have all insurance cards, photo ID and copays ready at each and every visit. If we are unable to verify your insurance information then you will be expected to pay full cash price for services rendered.

IRPC is proud to provide a flexible cancellation policy for our patients. If you need to cancel your appointment at one of our clinics, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Feel free to reschedule your appointment for a date that works for you.
