Patients are to
call, two to three working days after any test is taken, to discuss
the results with Dr. Johansson. Please consult the appointment hours
above. Because we assume you to be responsible for your health, we expect
you to contact us for your results. WE DO NOT routinely call
patients with their results, so do not assume that your tests were normal
because you did not hear from us.

If you have an
insurance plan that Dr. Johansson contracts with and that requires
pre-approval when having tests or when being referred to another
physician, YOU ARE EXPECTED to alert us to this fact EACH TIME
we ask you to have to have a test or we ask you to see another doctor. It
is your insurance and your responsibility. Do not expect the office
personnel to know all of your insurance’s peculiarities.

We will submit a
claim for your visit to your PRIMARY insurance. If Medicare is
not your primary insurance and you have a secondary insurance, you
will be responsible for submitting claims to your secondary insurance.
Co-payments, if required, are expected to be paid at the time of your
arrival. We accept cash, checks and credit cards (MasterCard and Visa).
