PHW charges our patients reasonable office visit and Telehealth virtual visit fees for personalized, concierge-level health care. We do not charge our patients any expensive recurring practice membership, retainer, or subscription fees as concierge medicine practices and online healthcare typically does. So our patients are not locked in to PHW for health care services. Our office visit and virtual visit fees are determined on a case-by-case basis, not a fee schedule, due to the spectrum of patient medical conditions and medical complexities presented to us. Our provider's time, including appointment or virtual visit duration, and any required preparation or review of patient medical information related to the patient appointment or virtual visit is included in our office visit and virtual visit fees. Typically, on a annual basis, our patients pay substantially less for our concierge-level personalized health care then annual practice membership, retainer, or subscription fees of other health care entities. Please inquire before-hand with us about your estimated office visit or virtual visit fees for further clarification.

NOTE: PHW office visits and Telehealth virtual visits fees are not inclusive of any optional health care nor any administrative services fees (e.g. third party medical records fees, patient forms, disability determinations, dietary counseling, special reports, etc.), and are solely the patient's financial responsibility since they are not covered by any healthcare plans. All patients are also solely financially responsible for all of their third party, health coordination services, including labs, pharmacies, imaging, etc., which may or may not be covered by their specific healthcare insurance plan(s).

• Payment is due upon the time of your scheduled office or virtual visit appointment. 
• PHW accepts most major credit and debit cards as preferred forms of payment. 
• All patient billing inquiries should be directed to Physicians Billing Service.
