Health insurance can be a very confusing topic as there are many options available depending on your age and employment status. If you do not have health insurance coverage you will need to notify a member of your care team prior to your first appointment. A staff member will link you with financial case management to facilitate your enrollment into an appropriate health plan including federal and state sponsored programs.
