Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez:

Are services from Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez typically covered by health insurance in Virginia?

Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez, as a Family Physician in Virginia, 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. Michel Bornacelly-Perez is ‘in-network’ for their plan and understand their coverage details, co-pays, deductibles, co-insurance, and any referral requirements. Some services (e.g., most cosmetic procedures, some administrative forms, non-medically necessary visits) may not be covered 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. Michel Bornacelly-Perez as my Family Physician, or to see a specialist?

Generally, you do not need a referral to see Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez to establish care as your Family Physician/Primary Care Physician (PCP), provided he is accepting new patients. However, to see most medical specialists (e.g., cardiologist, dermatologist), Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez will typically provide a referral after an assessment. Many insurance plans, particularly HMOs, do require a referral from your PCP for specialist visits to be covered. PPO plans may offer more flexibility for self-referral, but this might result in higher out-of-pocket costs. Always check your plan’s referral requirements.

How do I get a prescription refilled by Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez?

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. Michel Bornacelly-Perez’s office. Please allow at least 24-72 business hours for processing. For certain medications (e.g., controlled substances, medications requiring close monitoring), or if it has been a significant time 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 does 'preventative care' involve with a Family Physician like Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez in the US?

What if Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez works in a group practice or medical group? Will I always see Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez?

Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez practices as part of a medical group, which often means you have access to a team of healthcare professionals, potentially including other physicians, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), nurses, medical assistants, and sometimes on-site or closely affiliated dietitians or behavioral health specialists. While the goal is always to promote continuity with your primary Family Physician, Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez, for some urgent same-day issues, routine follow-ups for stable conditions, or if Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez is unavailable, you might be offered an appointment with another trusted member of the care team. This collaborative, team-based approach can enhance access to care, provide comprehensive support, and ensure your needs are met promptly.

If you have them, any relevant medical records, recent test results (blood work, imaging reports from other facilities), or letters from other doctors can be useful, especially if you are seeing Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez for the first time or for a specific complex problem. Having a written list of your questions or concerns can also help ensure you cover everything you need to during your visit. Be prepared to pay any co-payment or deductible amount as required by your insurance plan at the time of service.

How long do appointments with Dr. Michel Bornacelly-Perez typically last?
