Integrative and Collaborative Family Care

Atkinson Family Practice is your medical home. Located in Amherst and now Northampton (note: Northampton office if currently closed due to pandemic), we balance a science-based approach to health and wellness with an attitude of fun, compassion, and openness. Here, you’re more than just a patient—you’re part of our family. We feel that we have built something special and are looking forward to caring for you and yours. Let us tell you more about ourselves and our policies regarding our partnerships with patients seeking their best health. You can find more info about our policies here!

We have TeleMedicine Visits. Whenever possible we are happy to accommodate patients by scheduling visits remotely. The link to connect with your provide once an appointment has been made is here: TELEVISIT LINK. Feel free to ask for more information!

Atkinson Family Practice now has an email dedicated for any referral related questions and comments. Please defer all referral related messages to referrals@ doctorkate.net.

Atkinson Family Practice is excited to announce that we are starting an Anxiety Coaching Group. The coaching group is a six-session group medical visit for people interested in learning skills and developing strategies that can help reduce their anxiety and feelings of overwhelm. Visit our Services page for more information.

The insurance landscape has changed over the last several years: premiums and co-pays have increased significantly and high deductible plans have become more prevalent.

We are trying to maintain our current policy of billing insurance first, and then billing the patient once we have obtained the explanation of benefits. The number of patients who have high-deductible plans has increased to the point where soon we may no longer be able to continue in this manner.

That is why, in 2018, we started using a new payment system that makes it much easier for our patients to pay their bills or set up their own payment plans. This new system also allows us to keep a credit card on file that we either charge when you tell us or we can set up to charge automatically once your responsibility has been determined. It is called Greenlight. This is recommended for patients with an HSA (health savings account) or an FSA (flex spending account).

If you would like to set up a Greenlight account, please see me when you are in the office or contact me via phone or email below.

How May I Pay?

We believe that healthcare is important. We do not want finances to keep you from receiving care that you might need, but we have financial obligations in the office. We are always willing to discuss other possible arrangements if people talk to us, so please do not ignore this request.

I look forward to your personal interest and cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,

Jessica Hawley, CPC

Billing Supervisor
