Insurance/Appointments

This office does not participate in managed care.

Dr. Silverstein and Dr. Shur accept Top-Tier for Mt. Sinai Medical Center employees only.

For gynecologic care, payment is expected at the time of the visit.

Prenatal care is billed as a comprehensive fee, with payment due prior to the delivery.
There may be separate fees for specific diagnoses and/or procedures.

Documentation for insurance reimbursement will be provided.

Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are accepted.

Medicare, if primary, is accepted for gynecologic care.

The office has instituted a 24 hour cancellation policy. The fee is $50. The policy will apply to all NEW patients and to GYN patients for either annual exams or problem visits. We schedule our appointments in a certain way to maximize the time spent with each patient. Unanticipated no-shows or cancellations leave large gaps in the doctors’ schedules and also increase the wait time to get an appointment. The only other way to rectify the problem would be to start overbooking our schedules and we want to avoid doing that.

New patients will be asked to leave a credit card number on file and will be charged for any cancellations less than 24 hours in advance or for no shows. Established patients will get a phone call that a $50 charge is being added to their account to be paid at a subsequent visit.

We hope it is clear that our intent is only to be able to continue to give each patient the time and attention she deserves. Any questions can be directed to our office manager.
