Pareja Medical Center- Frequently Asked Questions

Appointments

There is a $35 fee for missed appointments or late cancellations. Please call to cancel appointments at least 24 hours in advance. Walk-in patients are accepted, but will be attended to after previously scheduled patients.

Billing & Financing

At Pareja Medical Center, we are devoted to helping you achieve an ideal state of health. Your health insurance carrier will cover many of the services that we provide. Many of the services that we provide are the same services that you would need if you were at other health care centers. Some services, however, and all non-traditional medicines may not be covered by your health insurance plan. As always, we maintain very reasonable cash-pay rates at Pareja Medical Center so that people without health insurance coverage can afford to obtain the necessary treatment needed for their health needs.

If you are a current patient and have a question about a recent statement, please call our office billing line directly at 773.434.8026.

Cosmetic Services

An initial consultation with the medical doctor is necessary before proceeding with any kind of laser treatment. At that consultation, you will be informed of the cost of your treatment. Because each person’s needs are different, prices cannot be posted on this website. Please call our office for more information. All cosmetic services are payable only with cash, and the entire series of treatments must be paid at your first treatment (usually a few days or a week after the initial consultation). Please call our office for more information or click here.

Immunizations & Physicals

Limited appointments for school and sports physical and immunizations are available. Parents or guardians of a child must come prepared with all documents filled out. If the provider has to fill out the paper work for you, you will be charged more for his time.

The only immunization administered at Pareja Medical Center is tetanus.

Insurance

Pareja Medical Center accepts PPO and Medicare insurances. Medicaid is accepted as a secondary insurance to Medicare. A sample of plans accepted by Pareja Medical Center is found below. If your plan is not on this list, please call so that we can obtain more information and verify your insurance. Co-pays and deductibles are due at the time of service. We also welcome patients who are not insured but will render payment in cash. Because we at Pareja Medical Center want everyone to achieve an ideal state of health, we attempt to make our prices for all of our patients as affordable as possible regardless of their financial situation.

New Patients

When you call ahead to make an appointment, the Pareja Medical Center staff needs your insurance information so that we can verify your coverage prior to the first visit. You are asked to arrive a half hour early to fill out all documents. If you come with the paperwork completed, then please arrive fifteen minutes ahead of your scheduled appointment. There is a $35 fee for missed appointments or late cancellations. Please call to cancel appointments at least 24 hours in advance. Walk-in patients are accepted, but will be attended to after previously scheduled patients.

Back lot- there is very limited and non-metered parking available behind the Pareja Medical Center facility.
The tree- (not for your car or horse!) if you ride a bike in, feel free to lock it up around the tree or on the bike rack nearby.
