FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We understand that healthcare can feel overwhelming at times, but it doesn’t have to be. Below are the answers to our patients’ most common questions about our services, policies, and procedures. If your question isn’t listed, please call us at (239) 331-8520, and our team will gladly assist you.
What types of insurance does VAVA Clinic accept?
We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare, Aetna, Humana, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and many more. Please contact our office to confirm that your plan is covered before your visit.
Do I need to schedule an appointment before visiting?
Appointments are required for primary care services such as pediatrics, family medicine, and women’s health. However, for walk-in or urgent care visits, no appointment is necessary; you can simply visit our clinic during business hours.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Please bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card, and a list of current medications. If you’re visiting for a specific condition or procedure, bring any relevant medical documents or lab results to help us provide the best care possible.
Do you perform lab work in-house?
Yes. Our on-site laboratory allows us to perform blood work and diagnostic testing without sending patients elsewhere, saving you time and ensuring faster results.
What procedures are available in the clinic?
We perform several minor procedures right here in our Naples clinic, including skin biopsies, abscess drainage, cryotherapy, laceration repair, and ingrown toenail removal. This means you can receive safe and effective care without visiting a hospital.
Why do I need a referral from my primary care physician to see a specialist?
Many insurance plans (particularly HMOs) require referrals to ensure proper coordination of care. Your primary care provider manages your overall health and ensures all specialists have the right information to treat you effectively.
Does your clinic accept self-pay patients?
Absolutely. We welcome self-pay patients and those without insurance. Our team will provide transparent pricing and discuss all available options before beginning treatment.
What if I need medical care after regular business hours?
If you are experiencing an emergency, please call 911 immediately. For non-urgent matters after hours, call (239) 331-8520, and an operator will connect you with your provider or assist with scheduling your next visit.
How long will my appointment take?
Appointment times can vary based on the nature of your visit, but we value your time and do our best to minimize wait times. Our staff will notify you if delays occur and keep you informed throughout your visit.
What makes VAVA Clinic different from other family clinics in Naples?
