Our lab is operated by Quest Diagnostics. If you received a bill from Quest for lab work, you will need on contact their billing department directly with questions. Their Billing Customer Service phone number is 1-866-697-8318.
If you do not receive a call that means that the provider who you saw did not see any issues with you lab work- no news is good news. If your provider needs to discuss a result, they will send a message to our nurse who will either give you a call or send you a message through your patient portal.
In order for our clinical support team to have enough time to call you, our portal has a five day lag time for posting results that are out of range. Please note, labs that are out of range do not necessarily mean that they are acute or concerning. For example if you are a diabetic and you get your Hemoglobin A1c checked, that result will take up to 5 days to post on the portal because your result will be outside of the normal range. You are always welcome to call our office with questions about your labs.
Our office is in network with a wide variety of insurance plans. However, because we are a private practice, we cannot guarantee that we are in-network with every subsidiary. Please contact your insurance to see if Dr. Berman is in your network.
We utilize a third party biller called RDMG thus the information we can provide you regarding any bills is limited. For all billing questions, please contact RDMG billing at 866-557-2612. We encourage you to request an explanation or benefits from your insurance.
