We participate in most major health insurance plans and will file insurance claims on your behalf.  Co-payments will be collected at the time of service.  Please remember that insurance claims and benefits are matters involving you and your insurance carrier.  Although we are happy to assist you in these matters, it is the patient’s responsibility to understand the requirements of his or her insurance policy and to plan accordingly.

For all plans in which we participate:  We will submit a claim (CMS1500) for the patient. The patient is responsible for the applicable co-payment/deductible per their insurance plan.

For all plans in which we DO NOT participate: You will be required to pay our charges in full at the time of service.  It is your responsibility to submit claims to the insurance company for reimbursement on all office visits, testing, and procedures. If you need to have surgery, either at an outpatient facility or in the hospital, we will verify your out-of-network benefits and submit the claim (CMS 1500) to your insurance company (if permitted) for direct payment to our practice. You will, however, be responsible for any unpaid balance, co-payments, or deductibles.
