FAQs About Erectile Dysfunction
Will my insurance pay for treatment at the Male Care Center?
Insurance payment for medical services is becoming more difficult to predict or guarantee. The nature of this practice is such that some insurance plans withhold coverage for what we do. Generally, Medicare and the better third-party payers cover our services. We will do all that is possible to collect payment for our services from these carriers. Co-pays and deductibles are due and payable when care is rendered.
What makes us “different” from the other advertisements?
Regarding the treatment of impotence, we are a full service facility as compared with those that only offer penile injection therapy. As such, we are able to bill insurance for services rather than being paid solely on a cash basis. Also, we make an effort to identify and treat causes of impotence instead of simply treating with pills or shots.
Any patient who wants to improve will do so under our full program of care. In addition to impotence, we treat acquired and congenital penile curvature, testosterone deficiency, enlarged prostate, and premature, rapid and other ejaculation problems. Should there be priapism (a prolonged painful erection) after penile injection, we are qualified to treat it whereas the usual injection therapy clinic cannot. Our clinic director is an American Board Certified urologist, the only kind of medical specialist specifically trained to diagnose and treat all forms of male sexual dysfunction.
How long has the doctor been in practice?
Dr. Fred Grossman is an American Board of Urology certified urologist. He has been in the practice of urology in Denver for more than thirty years. He has limited his practice to male sexual problems and benign prostate disease for the past ten years.
Is this kept confidential?
All information disclosed here is kept strictly confidential. No findings or results are released to anyone without the express consent of the patient.
When are patients seen?
The office sees patients regularly on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings, and afternoons. Other times may be arranged by request.
Do I need an appointment?
It is our belief that we can serve you better and prepare for your visit more efficiently if an appointment is made. Urgent problems are dealt with in a more unplanned way when necessary.
Can you take care of more than just sexual problems?
This is a full service medical practice. In addition to Dr. Grossman, the office employs a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. He is trained to deal with not only male sexual problems, but also with many contributory medical conditions which can cause these sexual disorders. Some of these include: hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes mellitus, cholesterol and other lipid abnormalities, heart and blood vessel disease, testosterone deficiency, and thyroid insufficiency or hypothyroidism.
Can my wife come along?
Wives, spouses, and partners are always welcome as long as the patient is comfortable with their presence in the office.
