Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Rhoniel Perdigon:

Are services from Dr. Rhoniel Perdigon typically covered by health insurance in Florida?

Dr. Rhoniel Perdigon, as a Family Physician in Florida, 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. Rhoniel Perdigon 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. Rhoniel Perdigon as my Family Physician, or to see a specialist?

Generally, you do not need a referral to see Dr. Rhoniel Perdigon 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. Rhoniel Perdigon 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. Rhoniel Perdigon, 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 your specific insurance plan's referral requirements.

Can Dr. Rhoniel Perdigon help with mental health concerns like anxiety or depression?

Family Physicians like Dr. Rhoniel Perdigon are integral to supporting patients' mental health in the US. He can assess symptoms of common mental health conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression, ADHD - initial screen), offer initial treatment options including counseling on coping mechanisms and medication if suitable, and connect you with more specialized mental health professionals or resources within the community if your needs are more complex or require specific psychotherapies not offered in-office. Your overall well-being, both physical and mental, is important to Dr. Rhoniel Perdigon.

How do I get a prescription refilled by Dr. Rhoniel Perdigon?

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. Rhoniel Perdigon's office. Please allow at least 24-72 business hours for these requests to be processed. 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 and not wait until you are completely out of medication.

What should I expect during my first new patient intake appointment with Dr. Rhoniel Perdigon?

Your first appointment will involve reviewing your medical history, discussing your current health concerns, medications, and lifestyle habits. A basic physical examination may be performed. This is also a chance to ask questions and learn about clinic policies. You will need your insurance card(s), a photo ID, and to complete new patient paperwork.

What happens if Dr. Rhoniel Perdigon determines I need to see a medical specialist?

If Dr. Rhoniel Perdigon believes specialist care is necessary, he will discuss this with you and make the appropriate referral, often suggesting in-network specialists. Our office may assist with pre-authorization. You will then be contacted by the specialist's office to arrange your appointment. Specialist wait times can vary.

What does 'preventative care' involve with a Family Physician like Dr. Rhoniel Perdigon in the US?

Preventative care includes scheduled immunizations, screenings for diseases, discussions about lifestyle modifications, and regular health assessments. Dr. Rhoniel Perdigon works with you to create a personalized prevention plan.
