BILLING & INSURANCE
As a courtesy to our patients, we will file insurance claims. New patients are required to pay a $50 deposit at the time of registration unless the patient has Medicare coverage or belongs to any of the managed care plans in which we participate. Otherwise, payment is expected at the time of service and patients should be prepared to pay deductibles, co-insurance, co-pays, and any non-covered services on the day of treatment. For our patient's convenience, in addition to cash and checks, we accept Visa and MasterCard.
