Hello, Dr Donnally allows a limited number of SURGICAL consultation telemedicines💻a week. Best path forward:
1- email your insurance card to [email protected] (He can’t take Medicaid. Private pay is sometimes an option, unless Medicaid)
2- if we take that insurance THEN upload your images to the portal for your 1st visit. (The only HMO we take is BCBS).
