Frequently Asked Questions
1. What services are available to a ‘Consultation patient’?
Consultation patients may schedule the following appointment types below. They will also have full access to the patient portal.
- Chronic medical evaluations and related follow up appointments
- Wellness / Nutritional consultations and related follow up appointments
- Well-child visits / Adult Physical examinations / Pre-Operative clearance evaluations
2. What services will not be available to a ‘Consultation patient’?
- Appointments for sick, acute injury or urgent office visits
- After-hours consultations or messages for the office or Dr. DeVito
3. Who do I choose as a Primary Care Provider (PCP), since I am a ‘Consultation patient’ (and thus, Dr. DeVito cannot be my designated PCP)?
We suggest that you remain enrolled with your current Primary Care Provider (PCP). For those who currently do not have a PCP or are changing PCPs, our office can provide local recommendations.
4. How does my insurance plan affect me if I am a ‘Consultation patient’?
- If you are a ‘Consultation patient’ and have a Managed-care health insurance plan, please be sure to have another physician as your designated Primary Care Provider (PCP). Please check with your insurance carrier to determine if you have ‘out of network’ coverage, since your visit with Dr. DeVito would be considered a consultation with a non-PCP. This means you may be financially responsible for partial or the entire office visit at the time of service.
- If you are a ‘Consultation patient’ and have a Non-Managed-care health insurance plan (for example: PPO), then you do not need to designate a PCP. However, please note the types of appointments available to a consultation patient (FAQs #1 and #2 above). For acute illness or other urgent care needs, you would need to contact your current physician or PCP.
