Footcare FAQs

  • What happens if the doctor is not contracted with my insurance?

    The office staff will collect payment at the time of service and will submit the insurance claim for you. Any payment for services provided by a non-contracted provider will be made to the patient.

  • How will I know if my insurance does not cover a service?

    You can contact your insurance. On treatment or items known not to be covered, the staff will notify the patient, and you will be asked to sign an Advance Beneficiary Notice as per the charge prior to treatment or receiving the item.

  • Can I see the doctor in either office?

    You can be seen in either office for your convenience. It is preferred that you let the staff know your preferred location and doctor at the time of making your appointment.

  • Can I pay my outstanding balance online?

    Yes, please email Sonya at footdocinslo@gmail.com and request a link emailed or texted to your specific account. 

  • If I have an issue, suggestion, or complaint about my appointment or service, who do I notify?

    We would appreciate you allowing our office to address your concerns or consider your recommendations. Please email Sonya at  footdocinslo@gmail.com, and it will be shared anonymously with the staff to be addressed. 

  • What do I bring to my first visit?

    Bringing your completed New Patient Packet, photo ID, insurance card(s), list of medications, x-rays from other facilities (if applicable), and a form of payment will expedite your visit.
