To Our Valued Patients,

We want to share an important update regarding our insurance participation. As of September 15, 2026, The Institute of Rheumatology & Lifestyle Medicine has transitioned to independent insurance contracts.

First and foremost, we want to sincerely thank you for the trust you have placed in our practice. We understand that insurance changes can be stressful, and we are truly sorry for any inconvenience or uncertainty this transition may cause. Our greatest priority has always been to provide you with the highest quality care, and we know how important it is to maintain continuity with your healthcare providers.

Although we have applied to participate with numerous insurance carriers, insurance companies determine which providers they approve and when those contracts become effective. At this time, the following are the ONLY insurance plans that have approved our practice for participation:

  • FHHS
  • HFHP Commercial
  • HFHP Medicare Advantage
  • AdventHealth Employees
  • AHPN-CF
  • Disney
  • Oscar Health
  • AMPS
  • UnitedHealthcare Nexus
  • Cigna SureFit CAC
  • Cigna Healthcare
  • Florida Medicare – Part A
  • Aetna
  • Devoted Health

Please know that we are actively working with additional insurance companies every day and remain hopeful that more contracts will be approved. Because these decisions are made entirely by each insurance carrier, we cannot guarantee approval or provide a timeline. However, we felt it was important to communicate this information as early as possible so that you have adequate time to plan for your future healthcare needs.

If your insurance plan is not currently listed, please contact our office. We will gladly review your options with you, including our discounted self-pay rates, for patients who wish to continue their care with our practice.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued trust. It is truly a privilege to care for you, and we remain committed to doing everything possible to continue serving our patients.



A Nuestros Valiosos Pacientes:

Queremos compartir con ustedes una actualización importante sobre nuestra participación con los seguros médicos. A partir del 15 de septiembre de 2026, el Instituto de Reumatología y Estilo de Vida ha realizado la transición a contratos independientes con las compañías de seguros.

Antes que nada, queremos agradecerles sinceramente la confianza que han depositado en nuestra práctica. Sabemos que los cambios relacionados con el seguro médico pueden generar preocupación e incertidumbre, y lamentamos profundamente cualquier inconveniente que esta transición pueda ocasionar. Nuestro mayor compromiso siempre ha sido brindarles una atención médica de la más alta calidad y entendemos lo importante que es para ustedes mantener la continuidad de su atención.

Aunque hemos solicitado participar con numerosas compañías de seguros, son las aseguradoras quienes deciden qué proveedores aprueban y cuándo entran en vigor dichos contratos. En este momento, los siguientes son los ÚNICOS planes de seguro que han aprobado la participación de nuestra práctica:

  • FHHS
  • HFHP Comercial
  • HFHP Medicare Advantage
  • AdventHealth Employees
  • AHPN-CF
  • Disney
  • Oscar Health
  • AMPS
  • UnitedHealthcare Nexus
  • Cigna SureFit CAC
  • Cigna Healthcare
  • Florida Medicare – Parte A
  • Aetna
  • Devoted Health

Queremos asegurarles que continuamos trabajando activamente con otras compañías de seguros y mantenemos la esperanza de que más contratos sean aprobados. Debido a que estas decisiones dependen exclusivamente de cada aseguradora, no podemos garantizar una aprobación ni un tiempo específico para ello. Sin embargo, creemos que es importante ser completamente transparentes con ustedes y compartir esta información con anticipación para que puedan planificar adecuadamente su atención médica.

Si su plan de seguro no aparece en la lista anterior, le invitamos a comunicarse con nuestra oficina. Con mucho gusto revisaremos sus opciones, incluyendo nuestras tarifas con descuento para pacientes de pago directo (self-pay), para quienes deseen continuar su atención con nuestra práctica.

Agradecemos profundamente su paciencia, comprensión y confianza. Es un verdadero privilegio cuidar de su salud y continuaremos haciendo todo lo posible para seguir atendiéndolos.
