It’s our policy that co-payments, co-insurance, deductibles, and any outstanding balances are due at the time of service. This means that you will be expected to pay for those items (as defined by your insurance policy) while at our office for your scheduled appointment. For your convenience, we accept payments in cash, check or credit card.

It’s important to note that you are financially responsible for the care you receive, even if your insurance does not pay. If you have questions, we encourage you to contact our office and our staff will do everything we can to serve you.
