We recommend that you review your insurance policy and contact your insurance company before your exam to determine which services are covered by your insurance plan, and what information must be provided to your insurance company.
Please bring your insurance identification cards or referral forms with you when you visit our office. We will be happy to answer any questions you have at that time.
As a courtesy to our patients, we will fill out and submit a standard AMA 1500 insurance claim form to your insurance company. It’s the patient’s responsibility to ensure their account is paid in full within ninety days; otherwise the account will be referred to a collection agency that can possibly affect your credit. If your insurance plan requires that you make a co-payment, that amount will be collected in the office at the time of the visit.
