Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Mary Leary:

Are services from Dr. Mary Leary typically covered by health insurance in Pennsylvania?

Dr. Mary Leary, as a Family Physician in Pennsylvania, 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 our clinic's office at (610) 539-9100 prior to your appointment to confirm that Dr. Mary Leary is "in-network" for your plan and to understand your specific coverage details, including 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. Mary Leary as my Family Physician, or to see a specialist?

Generally, you do not need a referral from another doctor to see Dr. Mary Leary 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. Mary Leary 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. Mary Leary, 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, often your Primary Care Physician (PCP), is a medical doctor specializing in comprehensive healthcare for individuals and families across all ages and life stages – from newborns to seniors. In the US healthcare system, they serve as your main point of contact for most health concerns, offering preventative care (like wellness visits, immunizations, health screenings), diagnosing and treating acute illnesses (such as infections or minor injuries), managing chronic conditions (like diabetes, hypertension, or asthma), providing mental health support, and coordinating your care by referring you to specialists when necessary. A key aspect of their role is building long-term relationships with patients to promote overall health and navigate the complexities of the US healthcare system.

How do I get a prescription refilled by Dr. Mary Leary?

For most routine prescription refills, please contact your pharmacy first, ideally 5-7 days before you run out of medication. Your pharmacy can often send an electronic refill request directly to Dr. Mary Leary's office. Please allow at least 24-72 business hours for these requests to be processed. For certain medications (e.g., controlled substances like opioids or stimulants, or medications requiring close monitoring like blood thinners), or if it has been a significant time (e.g., as determined by Dr. Mary Leary, often 6-12 months) since your last review, an appointment will likely be required. Some insurance plans may require prior authorization, which our office can help initiate. It is always best to request refills proactively.

What should I do if I have an urgent medical issue when the clinic 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 our clinic reopens, you may consider visiting an urgent care center. Check our clinic voicemail [(610) 539-9100] or website for specific after-hours instructions. Your insurance plan may also offer a 24/7 nurse advice line.

What should I expect during my first new patient intake appointment with Dr. Mary Leary?

An initial new patient visit usually involves a thorough discussion about your health and the completion of intake forms. Be prepared to share your personal and family medical history, a complete list of current medications with dosages, any ongoing health issues, and your overall lifestyle. Bring your insurance card and a photo ID. Dr. Mary Leary will want to understand your health needs, concerns, and what you expect from your Family Physician/PCP. A physical exam may be performed, or a separate preventive visit/physical exam might be scheduled for a later date.

What does PCP mean and is Dr. Mary Leary one?

PCP stands for Primary Care Physician. Yes, Dr. Mary Leary, as a Family Physician, serves as a PCP for her patients. Your PCP is your main doctor for general health needs, preventative care, and is usually the first point of contact for most medical issues. They manage a wide range of health concerns and coordinate your overall care, including providing referrals to specialists if needed. Many health insurance plans in the US, especially HMOs, require you to select or be assigned a designated PCP to oversee your care and authorize specialist visits.

Can you explain common health insurance terms like co-pays, deductibles, and co-insurance?

A co-pay (or copayment) is a fixed amount you pay for a covered healthcare service at the time of service. Your insurance plan pays the rest. A deductible is the amount you must pay out-of-pocket for covered healthcare services before your insurance plan starts to pay its share. Preventive services are often covered before meeting the deductible. Co-insurance is your share of the costs of a covered healthcare service, calculated as a percentage of the allowed amount, which you pay after you've met your deductible. These amounts and how they apply vary greatly by insurance plan. Consult your insurance plan documents or contact your insurer's member services for details.
