Welcome to Sharp Community Medical Group

As an Sharp Community member, you have access to our award-winning network of doctors and high-quality care options that are conveniently located near you.

Your doctor is affiliated with Sharp Community, which means if you have an HMO or Medicare Advantage Plan, you are in Sharp Community's network.

Before making an appointment, call the doctor's office to confirm:

• They are taking new patients and work with your specific health insurance plan

• What payment may be due at the time of service and forms of payment accepted

See more tips to help you prepare for your first appointment.

Non-covered services

Please be aware that some services might not be covered by your health insurance plan. Some, or even all, of the services you receive may be non-covered or considered unnecessary by the insurer. It is very important to verify your coverage with your insurance provider, as non-covered services must be paid for in full at the time of the service.

Claims submission

Your insurance company might need you to supply certain information directly. It is your sole responsibility to comply with any supplemental requests.

Billing office

If you have questions or concerns about your statement or need to set up past due balance payment arrangements, please contact your doctor’s office. Contact your health insurance provider if you have specific questions about your health plan and covered services.
