Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Katherine Carroll:

Are services from Dr. Katherine Carroll typically covered by health insurance in New York?

Dr. Katherine Carroll, as a Family Physician in New York, likely accepts a variety of health insurance plans, including major private insurers, Medicare, and potentially state Medicaid programs. However, patients must always verify with their specific insurance provider AND with our clinic's office prior to an appointment to confirm that Dr. Katherine Carroll is 'in-network' for their plan and to understand their 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. Katherine Carroll as my Family Physician, or to see a specialist?

Generally, you do not need a referral from another doctor to see Dr. Katherine Carroll 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. Katherine Carroll 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. Katherine Carroll, 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.

What exactly is a Family Physician (Family Physician) and what is their role in the US healthcare system?

A Family Physician (Family Physician) in the US is a physician who has completed residency training and is typically board-certified in Family Medicine (e.g., by the American Board of Family Medicine - ABFM). She are skilled in providing continuous and comprehensive medical care, health maintenance, and preventive services to patients of all ages. This includes diagnosing and treating a vast array of illnesses, managing complex long-term health conditions, offering health education and counseling on lifestyle choices, and acting as your advocate and guide within the US healthcare system, including coordinating with your insurance plan for necessary care.

How can I find a Family Physician (Family Physician) in New York 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. Also use the 'Physician Finder' tool on the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) website (familydoctor.org). The New York Medical Board (using New York State Board for Medicine (NYSBOM) if available) website may have search tools for licensed physicians. Ask friends, family, or colleagues for recommendations. Contact local hospital systems or larger medical groups, as they often have affiliated family physicians. Verifying insurance acceptance directly with the clinic before scheduling is crucial.

What should I bring with me to my appointment with Dr. Katherine Carroll?

Bring your current health insurance card(s) and a valid photo ID. An up-to-date list of all your current medications (prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, herbal supplements), dosages, and reasons for taking them is very helpful. If you have them, bring any relevant medical records, recent test results, or letters from other doctors. A written list of questions or concerns can also be helpful. Be prepared to pay any co-payment or deductible amount as required by your insurance plan at the time of service.

How often should I see Dr. Katherine Carroll for a check-up or physical exam?

The recommended frequency for check-ups varies based on your age, overall health, existing medical conditions, and specific risk factors. Many insurance plans cover one annual preventive visit for adults with no co-pay. Healthy younger adults may benefit from regular check-ins (e.g., every 1-3 years if no major concerns, but an annual visit is often encouraged if covered by insurance), while older adults (e.g., annually, especially for Medicare Annual Wellness Visits), or individuals with chronic conditions typically require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-6 months or annually, as determined by Dr. Katherine Carroll). Discuss your individual needs with Dr. Katherine Carroll to determine an appropriate schedule for your preventative care.

How long do appointments with Dr. Katherine Carroll typically last?

Appointment length varies depending on the reason for your visit. Standard appointments for a single issue or routine follow-up are often 15-20 minutes. Appointments for more complex issues, a comprehensive 'annual physical', a new patient intake appointment, in-depth counseling, or an in-office minor procedure will usually be longer (30-45 minutes or more). When booking, mention the reason for your visit so the appropriate time can be allocated. If you have multiple unrelated issues, book a longer appointment or schedule separate visits.

What should I expect during my first new patient intake appointment with Dr. Katherine Carroll?

Your first appointment will involve a review of your medical history (past illnesses, surgeries, hospitalizations, allergies, immunizations, family health history), discussion of current health concerns, medications, and lifestyle habits. A basic physical examination may be performed. This visit is also a chance for you to ask questions about Dr. Katherine Carroll's practice style and for her to explain clinic policies (e.g., appointment scheduling, prescription refills, communication methods, insurance billing procedures, missed appointment fees). You will likely need to provide your insurance card(s), a photo ID, and complete new patient paperwork.
