Office Information: About Your Visit

Insurance Information

Most PPO plans are accepted as well as Kaiser, GEMCare, and AAG (insurance plan for the County of Kern employees). The physicians at KBJS do treat some who are covered under a Worker's Compensation plan. Please call to inquire as to which plans are accepted.

Appointments

Please call the office to make an appointment in advance. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call us as far in advance as possible so we may use that time to see another patient in need of care. We make a sincere effort to adhere to our appointment schedule and appreciate your patience if we are late due to emergencies or hospital surgery.

Fees & Payments

We make every effort to decrease the cost of your medical care. Therefore, we request payment arrangements for all office services at the time they are rendered unless prior arrangements have been made. Cash, Visa or MasterCard are acceptable forms of payment for co-pays, deductibles or account balances.

Prescriptions & Renewals

Please request all prescriptions and authorizations for renewals during our normal office hours, when our full records are available. Renewals requested at other times will be filled only for extreme or emergent circumstances.
