What is your cancellation policy?
We provide appointment reminders three days in advance, but it is crucial for you to keep track of your appointment. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please call our office or email appointments@lunggroup.org at least 24 hours in advance. Missed appointments (no-shows) will result in a $25 fee.

What insurance providers do you accept?
Pensacola Lung Group accepts and files claims for most insurance carriers, including Medicare. Co-pays and deductibles are due at the time of service. If your insurance does not remit payment within 45 days, you may receive a bill for the remaining balance. If insurance does not cover a service, payment is due at your appointment. Your insurance plays a significant role in determining your out-of-pocket costs. If you have questions about your coverage or out-of-pocket costs, our team can help you determine your benefits in advance. Please contact our billing office before your appointment for payment assistance or alternate arrangements.

How do I request a prescription refill?
All calls to doctors, nurse practitioners, or nurses are directed to the nursing line voicemail. Calls are returned within two business days. Leaving multiple messages may delay response times, so please allow time for our team to review your request and respond accordingly.

How can I contact my doctor or nurse?

What is a nurse practitioner or physician assistant (extender)?
At Pensacola Lung Group, we believe in a team-based approach to healthcare. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants (also called extenders) play a crucial role in providing many of the same primary healthcare services as physicians. They focus on health promotion, disease prevention, and managing acute illnesses and chronic conditions. They can also order and interpret diagnostic tests, prescribe medications, and collaborate with physicians to create treatment plans.
