Financial Information and Insurance
Payments
We request and appreciate payment at the time of service for the portion of the fee for which you are responsible (e.g. co-payments, deductibles, and past-due account balances.) Statements are mailed monthly. We accept most major credit cards for your convenience.
Insurance
Our staff will make every effort to simplify all billing and insurance claim procedures. We participate with many insurance plans; however, we recommend you call your insurance company prior to your visit to verify coverage and to determine if a referral from your primary care physician is necessary. Please bring your insurance card with you to every visit so that we may ensure that our records are accurate. If you do not have insurance coverage, full payment is required at the time of service.
Our Financial Frequently Asked Questions brochure outlines our financial policies and should answer all of your financial questions.
