**Update on Insurances and New patients**

Sprouts is slowly opening back up to new patients with limited availability; we currently have reserved spots on our schedule for NEW PATIENTS in June and July; We have gone down our new patient list and have tried our best to reach out to patients that are already on that list. If you would like to become a new patient please call the office and have the following information handy:

- Insurance Information
- Last Wellness Visit Date
- Vaccine information
- Current Chronic Medical Conditions (ie: Asthma, ADHD, etc)
- Current list of medications

Dr. Downey is still unable to manage NEW ADHD patients due to the high volume of existing patients and their need for monthly follow-ups.

Current In-Network Insurances:
-Tricare SELECT
-BCBS (PPO and HMO plans)
-United Healthcare
-Cigna
-Aetna (in network as of 6/16/2023)

**Our office is Still unable to bill to medicaid at this time, and due to issues with referrals and prior authorizations Dr. Downey is not accepting NEW Self-Pay medicaid patients at this time***

Reminder that our Schedules are filling up fast and we are currently booking out wellness visits about 3-4 weeks in advance. If you need a specific day/time for wellness we recommend calling sooner rather than later so we can do our best to accommodate your needs!

As always, we appreciate your support as the office continues to grow!
