Frequently Asked Questions

  • Direct Specialty Care is an innovative healthcare model where physician-operated practices will partner with their patients to provide specialty care services under a flat membership fee.

    This aims to remove the traditional insurance-based system so that specialists can offer individualized medical care without constraints.

  • Cost Transparency - No more insurance confusion of surprise copays and fees. All our costs are as written.

    More time - No more long waits and feeling rushed. Insurance-based doctors book 20-30 patients in a day to make up for the low reimbursements from insurance. At SPARC! Gynecology, you can often book same or next day appointments and spend as much time with Dr. Imbo as you need.

    Access to your Doctor - No more phone call trees or waiting days to hear back from your doctor. All your texts, calls, or emails are received and answered directly by Dr. Imbo.

    Flexibility - Without the chains of insurance, the decision making of your care rests between YOU and Dr. Imbo.

  • Pediatric & Adolescent Gynecology (or PAG) is a subspecialty of Obstetrics & Gynecology. It is a physician who graduated medical school, did a 4-year residency in OBGYN, and then a 2-year fellowship in PAG (aka, double-board certified!). It helps bridge the gap between pediatricians who aren’t comfortable with reproductive concerns and OBGYNs who aren’t comfortable with young patients.

    Dr. Imbo specifically sees patients ages 0-25. Check out a list of services she offers here.

    Learn more about PAG on NASPAG.org.

  • SPARC! Gynecology is out of network for ALL insurances. This means we take all* patients and charge you directly. You should still maintain an insurance for your other care, emergencies, and to help with labs and medication costs.

    We offer either age-based memberships with discounts on procedures, or if not a member you can see our costs details here.

    You can also use Reimbursify to submit a claim of your bill. Dr. Imbo cannot guarantee if or how much your insurance will reimburse.

    *Unfortunately, Dr. Imbo cannot see Medicaid or Medicare patients at this time.

  • Currently, Dr. Imbo is only licensed in Florida meaning you need to have an address in Florida to receive care.

  • Phone, email, text are all options!

    Non-emergent and new patient messages received after-hours will be answered during office hours. Please do not rely on messaging for urgent issues and seek emergency care!

  • As long as you need!

    If you have a membership, all your visits are included in the cost. For non-members, your visits are priced by 15 minute intervals. (i.e., 0-15min = $99, 16-30 min = $198, 31-45 min = $297, etc).

    Gone are the days of being rushed out the door in 10 minutes. Also, there’s no reason a quick check in should cost as much as a long conversation. You are in charge of your visits.
