The use of medical insurance

We are out of network with all insurances. If you have benefits, we often are able to determine in advance what your insurance will cover, and what your out of pocket cost may be. Oftentimes, our entire bill is covered by insurance. The insurance experts at our practice will always give an estimate of what your expenses will be prior to any treatment being performed.

 

Our billing department will take care of all claims submitted to insurance on your behalf. We will also follow-up and appeal on your behalf, when necessary, should there be any denials. In most circumstances, we will collect payment from your insurance company directly such that you do not need to lay out money in advance. If there is an additional balance due after the insurance processes our claim, we will invoice you. In all circumstances, we will require a credit card on file prior to performing any treatment.
