Ardas Clinic

WHAT WE OFFER

We see patients of all ages, for all conditions. This is family medicine. If we can not help you, we will try to coordinate a referral to someone who can.

This is our "online superbill", mostly for our own entertainment, but also if you are uninsured (or CICP) and want to see our prices. These do not apply if you have Medicaid or other insurance - please see the payment page for those. These prices include a discount for paying at the time of service, which we require anyway. Most of these are in addition to the visit charge ($45), unless you only need shots or a sports physical. Medical pricing is complicated, but we are trying to simplify it here.

Where do these prices come from? The procedure prices are a percent of what Medicare reimburses. The fluid (vaccines and meds) and the labs (in house or send out) are our actual cost, rounded up to the closest dollar.

We accept cash or credit (no checks), and require all payments before service.



















LANGUAGES

If you do not speak English, we encourage you to bring a friend or family member who does. However, if this is not possible or comfortable to you, we will have an interpreter for you. We have many languages available, but not every language at every time. If you walk in without an appointment, we may have a hard time finding an interpreter immediately.

Immunizations - Shots - Vaccines - Jabs

$14.00
90471/2
Vaccine administration fee. You do not have to pay this extra, unless you are a child who qualifies for VFC but not Medicaid (we rarely see this), or you are an adult who qualifies for shots from the Merck program. We record all shots in the state immunization registry

Adult Shots

1. Medicaid gets these free.
2. Medicare only covers flu, pneumonia (ppsv23), and hepB (and zoster but not by an outpatient doctor).
3. All other insurances (Blue Cross, etc) pay for these directly.
4. CICP and uninsured have to pay these prices...

...However, you may qualify to get some of these discounted to $25 (includes the $14 shot fee), based on your income (the ones with ***). This is very handy for green card shots if you are not a refugee....

...for Green Card requirements: If you arrived anywhere in the U.S. as refugee status, within the last 5 years, it is much easier and cheaper if you just go to the refugee clinic. Most adults need Varicella x2, MMR x2, Td x3 (one being TdaP), and flu if September-March. That is, you need MMR+Var+Tdap, then at least 1 month later MMR+Var+Td, then at least 6 months later Td (+ maybe flu); but you may not need to wait the 6 months for the last shot to apply for your card. In addition to shots, you also need a physical by a special "Civil Surgeon" doctor, which is usually about $200 (but the Lowry program covers all of this for refugees).
