Dear Patients,

If you are new to our office, welcome! If you are a returning patient, we hope you have enjoyed good health since we last met. Over the previous 2 years, there have been major changes in healthcare with yet more regulations set to phase in this year. More and more is being demanded of our office from Medicare and private insurers that take us away from our primary focus—providing excellent care for you, our patients, neighbors and friends. As such, we have made the decision to establish an annual Administrative Fee of $35.00. This charge helps cover the costs associated with patient phone calls, pharmacy calls, obtaining prior authorizations for medications, retrieving and reviewing outside records from physicians and hospitals, coordinating your care with other physicians, filling out forms and more.

Sincerely, 

	
Jonathan J. Pearlstein, MD
