Yes, because we are not insurance. We recommend (but don’t require) that our patients continue to carry both a major medical plan and a health savings account (HSA) to ensure financial help should hospitalization or referral to a specialist be necessary. We’re happy to refer you to insurance representatives who can help customize an insurance plan to your specific needs.

Yes. We are accepting Viva Medicare, Cigna Healthsprings, and Alabama Medicare.

In providing superb care with unprecedented sorts of access, we seek to prevent and reduce hospitalizations. You are welcome to go to the hospital of your choice or the hospital that is closet to you. And we agree to work with any specialist that you are currently seeing.

Yes. We are happy to accept the children (birth to 20 years of age) of our enrolled clients. At this time, we are not able to provide routine vaccinations for young children, but we will happily work with you to arrange these.

Yes! Because illness and injury do not respect regular office hours, you may call your physician any day, at any hour. If you prefer, you may also use our secure patient portal to access your medical record and then e-mail your physician. You will also have access to HIPPA secure test messaging so that you can text your physician directly.

Naturally we provide such care – yet another freedom we enjoy together as a result of independence from the restrictions of third-party payment. Because we know you well, we can streamline your care when you’re sick away from home. Many illnesses can be diagnosed and treated with a simple conversation by phone, email, text or telemedicine (virtual visit). We’ll locate the nearest pharmacy and order the medications most appropriate for your circumstances.

We maintain very high standards of privacy. We are never obligated to provide any third party with a copy of your records, unless you specifically ask that we do so.

Schedule a free, unconditional visit to discuss your healthcare needs. It’s the only reasonable way to begin what, we trust, will be a long, productive, healthy relationship.

Yes. While Brownstone Healthcare now accepts many major insurance plans, some direct-pay and personalized care options remain available through Doctor Kre. To enjoy these services you can not have BCBS or Medicare as your insurance.
