Insurance/Billing Information
As a courtesy to our clients, we will bill insurance companies for office visits. Your plans benefits, may require a co-pay or co-insurance at the time of each appointment. You will want to know that in advance, since you will be responsible for that amount. Please contact your insurance company prior to your first appointment to obtain complete benefit coverage information. Ask your insurance company if a specific therapist is contracted with them; and, if not, does your plan have “out-of-network” benefits. Find out what your co-pay/co-insurance fee will be per office visit, if you have met your deductible, and the maximum benefits for the year. If this process proves confusing our office staff will help you obtain this information. We accept cash, personal checks, debit cards, MasterCard, and Visa.
