Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Danielle Nordone:

Are services from Dr. Danielle Nordone typically covered by health insurance in New Jersey?

As a Family Physician in New Jersey, Dr. Danielle Nordone likely accepts a variety of health insurance plans, including major private insurers, Medicare, and potentially state Medicaid programs (patients should verify Medicaid participation directly). However, it is absolutely imperative that you verify with your specific insurance provider AND with Cooper University Health Care's office prior to your appointment to confirm that Dr. Danielle Nordone is 'in-network' for your plan and to understand your specific coverage details, co-pays, deductibles, co-insurance, and any referral requirements for specialist visits if applicable. Some services (e.g., most cosmetic procedures, some administrative forms, non-medically necessary visits) may not be covered by insurance and could result in out-of-pocket expenses. Please ask the clinic about policies for uninsured or self-pay patients if applicable.

Do I typically need a referral to see Dr. Danielle Nordone as my Family Physician, or to see a specialist?

Generally, you do not need a referral from another doctor to see Dr. Danielle Nordone to establish care as your Family Physician/Primary Care Physician (PCP), provided she is accepting new patients. However, to see most medical specialists (e.g., cardiologist, dermatologist), Dr. Danielle Nordone will typically provide a referral after an assessment. Many insurance plans, particularly HMOs (Health Maintenance Organizations), do require a referral from your designated PCP (Dr. Danielle Nordone, if so chosen) for specialist visits to be covered. PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans may offer more flexibility for self-referral to specialists, but this might result in higher out-of-pocket costs if the specialist is out-of-network or if a referral would have secured better coverage. Always check the referral requirements of your specific insurance plan.

Does Dr. Danielle Nordone at Cooper University Health Care offer telehealth (virtual video or phone) appointments?

Yes, Dr. Danielle Nordone at Cooper University Health Care may offer telehealth (virtual video or phone) appointments for certain types of consultations when clinically appropriate, permitted by state regulations, and covered by your insurance plan. These can be convenient for discussing some test results, managing stable chronic conditions, certain prescription renewals (not typically for new controlled substances), or some mental health follow-ups. However, many conditions, new significant problems, or situations requiring a physical examination (like listening to your heart/lungs or examining a rash) will still necessitate an in-person visit for accurate assessment and diagnosis. Please discuss with our reception staff or Dr. Danielle Nordone if a telehealth appointment might be suitable for your specific needs. Insurance coverage, co-pays, and deductibles for telehealth visits can vary significantly by plan and insurer; please verify with your insurance provider and our clinic regarding your specific plan's coverage for telehealth services with Dr. Danielle Nordone before scheduling such an appointment.

How long do appointments with Dr. Danielle Nordone typically last?

The length of an appointment with Dr. Danielle Nordone can vary depending on the reason for your visit. In the US, standard appointments for a single, focused issue or a routine follow-up are often scheduled for 15-20 minutes. Appointments for more complex issues, a comprehensive 'annual physical' or 'preventive wellness visit' (especially Medicare Annual Wellness Visits, which have specific components), a new patient intake appointment, in-depth counseling, or an in-office minor procedure will usually be scheduled for a longer duration, perhaps 30-45 minutes or even more. When booking your appointment at Cooper University Health Care, it's always best to briefly mention the reason for your visit so the staff can try to allocate the appropriate amount of time with Dr. Danielle Nordone. If you have multiple unrelated issues to discuss, you might be advised to book a longer appointment or schedule separate visits to ensure each concern can be addressed thoroughly without rushing.

How can I find a Family Physician (Family Physician) in New Jersey who is accepting new patients and takes my insurance?

First, check your health insurance plan's 'Find a Doctor' or 'Provider Directory' tool (often available online or via their member services phone number) to find in-network PCPs. This is the most reliable way to ensure coverage. Also, use the 'Physician Finder' tool on the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) website (familydoctor.org). The New Jersey Medical Board (or New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners) website may have search tools for licensed physicians. Ask friends, family, or colleagues for recommendations. Contact local hospital systems or larger medical groups; they often have affiliated family physicians who are accepting new patients and can provide lists of accepted insurances. Finding a doctor can be challenging; be persistent. Always verify insurance acceptance directly with the clinic before scheduling your first appointment.

What should I bring with me to my appointment with Dr. Danielle Nordone?

Always bring your insurance card(s) and a form of photo ID. A complete list of all medications you're currently taking (prescription, non-prescription, natural health products), including dosages, is crucial. For new patients, any past medical records or a health summary are beneficial. If you monitor things at home (like blood pressure or blood sugar), bring your logbook and device. Prepare a list of your symptoms or questions in advance. Also, be aware of your insurance co-pay or deductible responsibilities.

What should I do if I have an urgent medical issue when Cooper University Health Care is closed?

If you have a life-threatening medical emergency (such as severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, stroke symptoms, or major trauma), please call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department (ER) immediately. For urgent, non-life-threatening issues that cannot wait until Cooper University Health Care reopens (like minor sprains, UTIs, or worsening cold/flu symptoms), you may consider visiting an urgent care center. Some practices, like Cooper University Health Care, may have an on-call physician or an answering service that can direct you to appropriate care or provide advice for urgent patient queries after hours; please check our clinic voicemail [(856) 389-2792] or website for specific after-hours instructions. Your insurance plan may also offer a 24/7 nurse advice line that can help you determine the best course of action.
