Rheumatology Associates of Long Island (RALI) is a subspecialty group practice devoted exclusively to the treatment of patients with rheumatologic diseases. The practice was founded in 1978, and has grown from two physicians to eight. RALI is the largest single subspecialty rheumatology group practice in the New York Metropolitan area. RALI physicians have one goal: providing the best, most compassionate care possible to our patients who are our number one priority.

Office Hours

We are open to serve you, answer questions or schedule an appointment during the following hours:

Monday - Wednesday: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Thursday: 12 p.m. - 7 p.m.
Friday: 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Appointments

Appointments are an important part of your treatment, as time has been reserved specifically for you to talk with the doctor and receive help. Please arrive on time for your appointment. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you might be asked to reschedule your appointment.

We request a 24-hour notice if you need to cancel your appointment. We are aware that unforeseen events sometimes require missing an appointment, and appreciate your cooperation.

Insurance

Our office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. Please inform us of any changes to your insurance coverage.

Your estimated patient portion must be paid at the time of service. As a service to our patients, we will bill insurance companies for services. If claims are not paid within 60 days, you are responsible for the balance. If you have any questions, our courteous staff is always available to answer them.
