Dear Patient:
Welcome to Integrative Pediatrics, the office of Dr. Richard Linsk. Our practice
offers the best in conventional, alternative and holistic medicine. Integrative
Pediatrics’ focus is in holistic primary care as well as the specialty treatment of
patients with autism, ADHD/ADD, behavior management issues, allergies and
intestinal health problems.
We base our care on each patient’s medical history and needs, providing a
more complete and positive outcome on the health and well being of every
patient.
For your first visit to our office:
• Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment to allow for chart
processing
• Bring your insurance card(s) and a photo identification of a responsible
adult (we are required to make a copy)
• Obtain an insurance referral from your child’s PCP (Primary Care
Physician), if required. If you do not have a referral, you will be held responsible
for providing one to us in a timely manner or you will be billed
• Request a consult referral from your child’s PCP, if appropriate
• Bring copies of any past medical information on your child you would like
us to keep in the chart
Location:
Our office is located at 1310 S. Main Street, 2nd Floor, Ann Arbor, MI in the
Stadium Commons building. We have free covered parking directly under the
building off Main Street.
Office Hours:
Integrative Pediatrics office hours are Monday through Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
Insurance and Payment Information:
Integrative Pediatrics accepts many insurance plans and bills your insurance
company as a courtesy for patients. You are responsible for any co-payments
at the time of service. You will also be responsible for charges that are not
covered by your insurance. For those with financial hardship, our staff will
work with you to set up a payment plan.
Canceling Or Rescheduling An Appointment:
We realize that your time is valuable and hope that you realize the time of our
doctor and staff is valuable too.
If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment at Integrative Pediatrics,
we ask that you provide us notification more than 24 hours in advance so that
we may provide an opportunity for another patient to seek treatment. Chronic
missed appointments may incur a “missed appointment” fee of $50.
Prescriptions And Refills:
It is important to monitor our patient’s progress and use of medications.
Therefore, we will not refill a prescription for a patient who has not been seen in
the office in the past 3 months. We also do require 48 hour notice for
prescription refills. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding
regarding our prescription policies.
Lab Results Policy:
As you know, many of the children that we care for at Integrative Pediatrics are
extremely complicated. Many of the lab tests that we do are quite complicated
and their interpretation needs to be done in the context of the child's history,
symptoms and therapies.
We recognize that many parents like to keep detailed records of their children's
results. Therefore, we utilize Quest Diagnostics for our standard tests because
they will send test results directly to your home. We have found that often in
order to understand the results we need to sit down with the records and take
an interval history and in many cases we may order medications.
Whenever possible, an office visit to discuss your child's progress and plans is
probably the best choice. But if needed, we offer the option of a telephone
consultation. The cost of the telephone consultations are: 5 – 10 minutes $30,
11-20 minutes $60, 21 – 31 minutes $90. We will provide you with a receipt with a
billable code. Many insurance companies will reimburse such contacts.
We will be able to answer brief questions without an appointment. However,
anything that will requires medical record review will need to be addressed
more methodically either at a visit or telephone consultation.
For specialty labs, such as those sent to Genova, Metametrix, or Great Plains,
we will send results to you via e-mail if desired.
Supplements:
The doctor often recommends the use of nutritional supplements as a part of
the treatment regimen for patients. Many research studies, as well as immense
amounts of clinical data, show nutritional supplements to be safer, and more
effective, than drugs.
At your visit, we will explain what the supplements are and possible benefits.
We have supplements available in our office for purchase. The prices of these
supplements range from $12 - $60 and is payable at the time of service.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call our office at (734) 786-3833.
Thank you for choosing Integrative Pediatrics for your child’s health care.
