- Your child’s insurance plan is not ACA-compliant.
- Your child’s insurance plan is ACA-compliant, but you received some preventive services which are not part of the ACA-recommended list.
- Your child’s insurance plan is ACA-compliant, but you received some non-preventive services as part of the visit.

We accept most major insurance plans!
If your plan requires you to select a Primary Care Provider (PCP),
verify Antonio Cornier, MD or Robert C. DaRosso, MD is the assigned PCP.
Please call your insurance or our office to check on your insurance plan.
