CURRENT PATIENTS

CONTINUED VIRTUAL CARE

Attention MD is a virtual practice, with no plans to return to in-person visits.

  • The symptom questionnaire below is required for each follow-up visit. Please choose the appropriate Adult or Child Form link below to prepare for your appointment. We request that you submit your form well in advance of your appointment time.

  • Our preferred method for the video visits is Zoom. Apple FaceTime is an acceptable alternative. Michigan laws requires video connections for virtual sessions. Phone or audio-only connections are not an option. If you do not have access to a video method we will need to cancel your appointment. If you are unfamiliar with the video method you have chosen on your completed follow-up form, we request that you practice ahead of time with a family member or friend.

  • Phone calls are monitored on weekdays until 4:30pm. If your call is after 4:00 pm we may not be able to return your call until the next business day. We are closed on all major holidays.

  • Prescription Refills are available by leaving a message on the prescription line. Please allow one business day to fill your request. We do not respond to requests from pharmacies for refills via fax or phone call.

    Please review the Visit Length and Charges information below regarding appointment time slots.

VISIT LENGTH AND CHARGES

We offer two appointment types: Brief and Extended:

  • BRIEF appointments are appropriate when there are no new issues to discuss and no anticipated changes in your regimen.  They typically require 5 to 10 minutes of face time with a physician, but complexity, not time, determines medical billing charges.

  • EXTENDED appointments usually involve 15-20 minutes of face time.  This allows more time for questions, new issues, changes of regimen, review of outside testing, etc. 

  • Current charge for Brief Visits is $125 and Extended Visits are $165. 

  • Please inquire if you are unsure about the length of your appointment so we can clarify. This helps us do our best to stay on schedule.

Most of the work in a medical practice is done behind-the-scenes and does not result in any additional charges. For example, we often do not charge for prior authorizations or letters to schools, even though they involve 10-45 minutes of staff time per incident. 

We sometimes receive letters from insurance companies requesting discounts on our fees.  We do not accept these offers, because we offer the same price to every patient at the best value we can. 

Thank you for your cooperation.
