Scheduling Appointments

To schedule your appointment or ask any questions, please call us at (908) 522-9696.

New Patients

When you arrive for your consultation, you will need to provide the following if it applies:

· A current health insurance card

· An up-to-date referral with Dr. David K. Brown as the rendering physician

· Your co-payment for specialist

· Users of Microsoft Word can print our: Patient Information packet (fill out and bring it with you to your visit).

We ask that you stop taking any medications containing antihistamines for 3 days prior to your appointment, if possible, as these medications will interfere with allergy testing. You should call our office or your pharmacist if you are not sure if your medications contain antihistamine.

Financial Policy

We strive to provide the best allergy specialty care and service. In an effort to provide this care at the lowest possible cost to you, we ask your cooperation with our financial policy. Our financial policy is designed to clearly define your responsibility for payment and our role in assisting you with insurance reimbursement for services you receive, and thus avoid conflict in this area.

The Allergy Diagnostic & Treatment Center participates in most insurance plans. We bill to primary and secondary insurances. If you have any questions about our participation, please contact your insurance company or call our office at (908) 522-9696.

Please be aware that some insurance companies have a limit on their allergy benefit/coverage. You should verify your benefit/coverage before making an appointment.

If we do not have a contractual agreement with your insurance company, payment for office services is due at the time services are rendered. We accept cash, check and credit card payments.

We will gladly discuss proposed treatment and answer any questions relating to your insurance. You must realize, however, that--

Our fees are generally considered to fall within the acceptable range by most companies and, therefore, are covered up to the maximum allowances determined by each carrier. Thus, our fees are considered to be usual and customary by most companies. This statement does not apply to companies who reimburse on an arbitrary "schedule" of fees, which bears no relationship to the current standard and cost of care in this area.

Not all services are covered benefits in all contracts. Some insurance companies arbitrarily select certain services they will not cover.

If your insurance requires a copay for specialist as explained in your insurance information your copay will be collected before services are rendered.

If your insurance is an HMO, you are responsible to supply this office with the referral and/or authorization forms PRIOR to being examined.

You are responsible for informing us of any changes in your insurance plan or policy. Failure to do so may result in denial of coverage, the fees for which you will be held responsible.

If you do not have the proper forms described in your insurance handbook, then you MUST reschedule or, if your plan offers "Out of Network" benefits, then you may be seen as an "Out of Network" patient which may result in a somewhat higher cost to you.

Balances older than 30 days and returned checks will be subject to additional collection fee of $25.00 or greater.

We will do our best in the filing of insurance claims. However, all charges are ultimately your responsibility.

Thank you for your understanding of our Office Financial Policy, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
