Dr. Schicker accepts almost all major insurance plans and providers including Medicare and Idaho Medicaid.
Some medical insurers require you to obtain a referral before you see a specialist, so it’s imperative you speak to your own insurance company to find out important details about their “preferred providers” and how much your out-of-pocket expenses may be.
To schedule a consultation with Dr. Schicker, you can call us or submit an email query via our “contact” page. One of our team will be in touch.
For your first consultation with Dr. Schicker, you should bring your referral (if required) and medical insurance details. For patients in the North Idaho area, we can usually access previous CT scans, x-rays, MRIs or other imaging. However, if you are coming from outside the area or have recently moved, please bring these with you.
New patients should arrive a few minutes ahead of their scheduled appointment to fill out paperwork.
