Medicare Patients

For many of our patients in Trussville, Huffman, Center Point, Springville, and Leeds, Medicare is what makes steady, ongoing care possible, especially for conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

We accept Original Medicare, along with Viva Medicare Plus from Birmingham-based Viva Health and Blue Advantage from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama. If you’re turning 65 or reviewing your options during open enrollment, Medicare.gov has tools to compare plans side by side.

Bring your red, white, and blue Medicare card to every visit, along with any supplement or secondary insurance card.

Before Your Visit

A few minutes on the phone can save you a surprise later. Call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask these three questions.

Then call our office so we can confirm what we have on file.

Is Alabama Internal Medicine in my network?
Does my plan require me to choose a primary care doctor?
What is my copay or deductible for office visits?

What to Bring

If your coverage has changed since your last visit, let us know when you check in so your visit gets billed to the right place the first time.

Coverage for Ongoing Care

If you’re coming in for a chronic care visit for diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, or heart disease, most plans treat those as regular office visits, with your usual copay, coinsurance, or deductible applying.

When in doubt, ask us. We’d rather answer the question up front than have you worry about it after.
