Why Verify Your insurance?
Before your first visit, it’s crucial to verify your insurance benefits. This simple step confirms whether our trusted providers are covered under your specific plan. Verification helps you understand your financial responsibility upfront and avoids unexpected bills.

We aim for openness in our billing practices:
- Out-of-Pocket Costs: We collect your estimated co-pay, deductible, or co-insurance (your out-of-pocket responsibility) at the time of your office visit.
- Insurance Billing: We will then bill your insurance company for the remaining balance of the services rendered.
- Remaining Balance: If your insurance doesn’t cover the full billed amount, you will receive a bill for any remaining balance due.
