Insurance Policy
It is your responsibility to pay any deductible amount, co-pay, or any balance not paid by your insurance company at the time of the visit. If we are not a provider on your insurance plan we still bill your insurance as a courtesy. However, you are responsible for verification of coverage and any remaining balance. We understand that finances can be a sensitive issue but we encourage you to contact us early regarding any problems.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call. We look forward to meeting you at your appointment and to helping find a way to allow you to gain control over your pain.
