A: A physician assistant works under a physician’s license, who is called their supervising physician. They go to graduate school, attend many of the same courses as students in medical school and are able to order labs, diagnostic testing, write prescriptions and perform minor procedures. Physician assistants may be considered your primary care provider, and can also work specialties or in hospital settings. Sometimes if your doctor is unable to see you, you may be scheduled with a physician assistant to evaluate you instead as they are very capable of caring for you and your family. Our physicians and physician assistants have close relationships to ensure you receive the best possible care.

A: Co-pay is a set amount you pay whenever you use a particular service, such as a visit to your primary care. This amount does not change or depend on co-insurance or deductible. It is a contracted amount between your insurance and your provider and is required each and every visit. Co-insurance is an amount split between you and your insurance company that you have to pay until you met your plan’s maximum out of pocket for the year. For example, you have a 25% co-insurance on an X-Ray. You would pay 25% of the total cost, and insurance picks up the remaining 75%. Deductible is a fixed amount you have to pay each year toward cost of your healthcare before your insurance picks up and begins to pay fully. Medicare plans may be different.
