Please note that insurance participation can change, and coverage may vary based on your specific plan and policy. We recommend contacting our office directly or consulting your insurance provider to confirm that your plan is accepted and to learn about any copays, deductibles, or referral requirements associated with your visit. If you do not have insurance or your plan is not accepted, Universal Primary Care offers self-pay options and may have financial assistance programs available to help ensure you receive the care you need.

If your insurance is not accepted, we offer a convenient self-pay option for our patients. This allows you to pay for your medical services out of pocket, rather than through an insurance plan. At Universal Primary Care, self-pay is available for a wide range of services, including office visits, diagnostic tests, and various treatments and procedures.
 
We encourage self-pay patients to ask about the cost of services in advance. Our staff is happy to provide clear pricing information and discuss any available discounts or payment plans for self-paying individuals. We are committed to making quality healthcare accessible, so please let us know if you have questions about billing, accepted payment methods, or financial assistance programs. At Universal Primary Care, our goal is to help you make informed decisions about your healthcare expenses, even if your insurance is not accepted.

If you’re interested in becoming a patient at Universal Primary Care or scheduling an appointment, it’s important to confirm that your insurance is accepted. Here’s how to verify your coverage:

• Contact Us Directly: The most reliable way to check if your insurance is accepted is to call our office. When you call, have your insurance card handy and be ready to provide the full name of your insurance company and the specific plan you have (for example, PPO, HMO, Medicaid, etc.). Our team can let you know if your plan is currently accepted and answer any questions about coverage.
• Review Our Website: We maintain an updated list of accepted insurance plans on our website. While we strive to keep this information current, insurance networks can change, so it’s always a good idea to confirm directly with our office.
• Contact Your Insurance Company: You can also call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card and ask if Universal Primary Care is an in-network provider under your plan. Many insurance companies offer online directories where you can search for providers by name or location—just enter “Universal Primary Care” to check our network status.
• Double-Check for Accuracy: Insurance networks can change, so it’s wise to verify with both Universal Primary Care and your insurance provider. When you call, make a note of the representative’s name and the date of the conversation for your records.
 
Confirming your insurance coverage in advance helps ensure a smooth experience and can prevent unexpected medical bills. If you have any questions, the Universal Primary Care team is happy to help—just give us a call!

Yes, you can generally use your insurance for vaccinations and preventive care at Universal Primary Care. Most health insurance plans—including private insurance and government programs like Medicare and Medicaid cover a wide range of preventive services, such as vaccines, etc, often with no copay when you visit an in-network provider.
 
Universal Primary Care accepts many common insurance plans, but we recommend verifying that your insurance is accepted before your appointment. You should also check with your insurance provider to confirm which specific vaccines and preventive care services are covered under your plan, as coverage details may vary. Our staff are happy to help answer your insurance questions and make sure you receive the preventive care you need. For more information, contact us or book an appointment online.
