How to Book an Appointment at Central Park Urology and What Insurance Is Accepted

You can book at Central Park Urology in two ways: use the "Book An Appointment" or "Request Appointment" option on centralparkurology.com, or call the office directly at (646) 290-9560. The practice accepts most insurance plans and HMOs, including Medicare, as well as most major credit cards. It is located at 18 East 41st St., New York, NY 10017, and has been serving New York City since 1982.

How to Book an Appointment

Central Park Urology offers both online and phone scheduling, so you can pick whichever fits your situation.

Option 1: Book online

1. Go to centralparkurology.com.
2. Select Book An Appointment (in the top navigation) or Request Appointment (further down the page).
3. Provide your details and preferred timing through the request form.
4. Expect the office to follow up to confirm your actual appointment slot — an online request is a request, not an instant confirmed booking.

Option 2: Call the office

• Phone: (646) 290-9560
• This is the faster route if you have an urgent concern, need to ask about a specific condition, or want to confirm insurance before committing to a time.

What happens after you book

The practice uses the Phreesia® information system to streamline patient interaction and insurance eligibility verification. In practice, this means you may be asked to complete registration and insurance details through Phreesia before your visit, which lets the office verify your coverage ahead of time rather than at the front desk.

Location and Contact Details

The office sits in Midtown Manhattan, a short distance from Grand Central Terminal, which makes it reachable by multiple subway lines and Metro-North.

Insurance and Payment

According to the practice, Central Park Urology accepts:

• Most insurance plans and HMOs
• Medicare
• Most major credit cards

Two practical notes before you rely on this:

• "Most insurance" is not "all insurance." Because plan networks change and Medicare Advantage plans vary, call (646) 290-9560 with your specific plan name before booking if cost is a deciding factor.
• The site does not publish self-pay rates or a full list of accepted plans. If you are uninsured or out of network, ask about pricing directly rather than assuming a number.

Common Questions Before Booking

Can I book same-day? The site doesn't state same-day availability. Call the office to ask — that's the only reliable way to find out.

Do I need a referral? Not stated on the site. This depends on your insurance plan; check with your insurer or ask when you call.

Is my online request confirmed immediately? No. Treat the website form as a request. Wait for confirmation from the office before rearranging your schedule.

How do I know if my plan is accepted? Call (646) 290-9560 with your plan and member ID. The Phreesia eligibility check will also flag coverage issues, but confirming by phone first avoids surprises.
