ATTENTION BLUE SHIELD INSURANCE HOLDERS!  I AM OUT OF NETWORK.

I am out-of-network. I tried to fix it. There is no way to do this apparently a simple fix even after being an in-net-work provider since 2007!  

Sorry everyone who were affected by this inadvertent event.  I will give up now. You will receive invoices from us. Flu shot fee is already discounted to $50. Other fees are as we billed to the insurance and rejected. You may need to use FSA account. If you are unable to pay or feel being treated unfairly and refuse to pay, please let me know by sending Updox portal e-mail or calling clinic.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

COVID-19 vaccines 

Time for booster? Please go to vax.sccgov.org.  You are able to book an appointment on-line.  I strongly recommend you to get the new bivalent booster when you are eligible. The online scheduling is simple and straightforward.

A few suggestions for your prospective PCP options will be sent by e-mail.

I do not have any contract with any organization or individual doctor/ NP/ PA for patient transfer. So no guarantee. Hope making the retirement announcement in October, way earlier than usual alleviated the struggle a bit but I am more aware now that not many PCP options around.
