| Getting started: |
Welcome to the registration process
at Vitality Health & Wellness. Thank you for
choosing us as your health care provider. We hope to make this
process as easy as possible. Currently, just our "New Patient Form" can be
submitted on-line. All other forms need to be printed, filled out and signed
prior to being mailed or faxed to us at (305) 466-1160. Please
keep a copy of the filled out form for your records. If you have any
problems downloading these forms, please contact our office at (305)
466-1100 and they can be faxed or mailed to you.
In order to make the most of your appointment,
these forms must be completely filled out and arrive at our office one
week prior to your initial appointment or phone consultation. We will
attempt to contact you if we have not received the forms, however, your
appointment will be cancelled and you will will be placed back on the
waiting list if we do not receive them. So please, take some time
and fill them out right now.
Many patients, especially those in other
states or countries, meet with Dr. Levinson via phone consultation. We
ask that patients email us a "head shot" photo (if the patient
is a child, then a picture of the parent and their child is acceptable). Please
send the photo to info@vitalitywellness.com with
the patient's name in the subject heading. |

| Insurance and Financial Arrangements: |
In order to treat the whole person and/or address
chronic ailments, the level and type of care given at Vitality is different
than what is commonly available; it requires more time and attention than
the standard of care that is currently offered by most other physicians.
In order to provide the level of clinical care that Dr. Levinson believes
is necessary, it is not possible for us to accept assignment of payment
from your insurance company. Additionally, we do not participate as an
“in-network” provider on any HMO or POS insurance plan, thus we are a
“fee-for-service” clinic. We do appreciate that this is inconvenient and
might be a financial burden, however, we believe this is the best investment
for your family’s health that you can make and are confident it
will be worthwhile.
We will work with you to provide bills acceptable to
your insurance carrier for reimbursement and to utilize your insurance
for in-network testing when appropriate. However, there are tests that may not
be available through your “in-network” labs such as Quest Diagnostics,
Unilab, and Labcorp. For the alternative “out of network” labs
that he uses, Dr. Levinson has negotiated very competitive rates on behalf
of his patients.
Payment is required at the time of your consultation
unless other arrangements have been made prior to the appointment. For
your convenience we accept Visa, MC, AMEX, cash and checks.

| Cancellation Policy: |
Dr. Levinson sets aside a significant portion of the
day for each appointment. We never “double book” patients into the same
time slot. Therefore, it is necessary to enforce a strict 24 hour
cancellation policy during the week. For appointments following a weekend
or holiday, appointments must be cancelled by one p.m. on the “work day”
prior to the appointment. The only exception to this policy is
a medical emergency.
For outreach clinics outside of Miami, the
appointment is charged at the time the appointment is scheduled and refunds
will be made only if someone on the waiting list can take that time slot.
Cancellation fees are equal to the standard fee for
the scheduled appointment. For those appointments canceled
with appropriate notice, our staff will always give out a cancellation
code for your records.

| Other Clinicians Involved in Your Care: |
| The vast majority of patients use Dr. Levinson
for full service care. However, if you are currently working with
a physician that you are comfortable using for some aspects of your medical
care, Dr. Levinson is happy to work in conjunction with them to any degree
that you wish. |
