  • We do ask that all patients present their insurance cards at check-in to the receptionist at each time of service.
  • We also do require all co-payments and unmet deductibles to be paid at the time of service.
  • We are always open to suggestions to further improve our office and services.

Forms of Payment: We accept Cash, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover. Payment is due at the time of the visit.

Age Range for This Practice: Patients from 18 years and above are welcome to our practice.

Insurance: We participate with multiple insurance companies. We will file claims on your behalf directly to the insurance carrier for payment, any co-payments, coinsurance, deductibles, and non-covered benefits. Please note, some services may not be covered in part or in full by your insurance company. However, if these services are deemed necessary, the patients will be responsible for paying any balance not covered by their insurance. Payment is expected at the time of service. If you’re unable to make that payment, you will not be seen.
