Patient Comments

April 25, 2025
Dr. Verlanic has a great bedside manner that helps a patient relax early in the exam. His discussions of my condition and possible treatments/outcomes were thorough and easy to understand. Should I choose a 'surgical repair' option for my treatment, I have the utmost confidence in this physician.

Best explanation of current conditions by any physician seen thus far.

Dr. Verlanic was excellent to discuss my medical issue. I really appreciated his willingness to discuss & answer my questions.
March 27, 2025
Dr Verlanic was very nice to work with. I had a ton of additional questions (for no reason other than curiosity) and he took time to thoroughly answer all of them. I really appreciated the extra time spent showing my CT scan and explaining everything on it.

Insurance

St. Peter's Health accepts most major insurances but may not be contracted with them all. To verify if we are in-network with your specific insurance, contact your insurance carrier.

Patients are expected to furnish all the necessary health insurance information and sign the medical release and insurance assignment authorizations. St. Peter’s Health will submit complete insurance claims on the appropriate forms for the charges recorded. 

Keep in mind that insurance is a contract between the patient and his or her insurance company and that St. Peter’s Health is acting only as a billing agent. St. Peter’s Health cannot pursue payment from insurance carriers in the event of non-payment or benefit denials. If a patient’s insurance carrier has not submitted payment within 30 days of billing, St. Peter’s Health expects the patient to pay the balance in full. Patients receive a monthly statement showing any account activity and the remaining balance due.
