Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are your rates?
The fee for an initial office visit is a flat rate of $375 ($350 for a phone consult, California only). Follow-ups are $40-$160 depending on time and complexity. We also have a Community Supported Healthcare Plan for those who are, or intend on being, long-standing patients.
-
Do you accept insurance?
We do not accept insurance at this point. However, we can give you a form to fill out and submit to your company for possible reimbursement. We also have a Community Supported Healthcare Plan of our own to help fulfill the need of affordable healthcare.
-
Do you accept new patients?
Yes! Dr. Cowan is currently receiving new patients.
-
How soon can I be seen by the doctor?
Dr. Cowan is usually booked 1-3 weeks out for new patient appointments. We regret if our schedule creates inconveniences. If your condition is urgent, we can fit you into the first opening after we receive a cancellation.
-
Should I come in or make a phone appointment?
Seeing patients in person has obvious advantages. However, if you live outside the Bay Area or are unable to travel, phone consultations are a practical option. Dr. Cowan treats patients nationally and internationally. (Note: Out-of-state initial consultations are currently unavailable. Dr. Cowan can do follow-up phone appointments after an in-person initial visit.)
