This
document describes Dr. Lucido’s Primary Care Membership Plan for Primary Care
services performed in Dr. Lucido’s office, during office hours.
Annual
Membership fee
Sliding
Scale:
12-35
years old: $600/yr
36-64
years old: $840/yr
65
years old + $1080/yr
This
fee will cover any and all primary care office visits to Dr. Lucido’s office
during regular office hours. No
refunds will be given for non-use of these services. Our patients are strongly encouraged to have an annual
health screening exam.
NOTE:
We
are an “out-of-network” provider for all insurance plans at this time. If you
plan to claim insurance reimbursement for your visits with us, we will provide
you with the documents that you need to send to your insurance company to make
a claim. (NOTE: MediCare
patients CANNOT bill MediCare for reimbursement of our fees, since we have
opted out of MediCare entirely.)
Although we are not participating physicians with any health insurance
plans, we will make every effort to make any needed referrals to specialists, labs, x-ray facilities,
hospitals, etc that do participate with your health plan.
