Insurance and Billing

At the time of your visit, patients need to provide our office with the correct insurance information, including your insurance card to be copied. We ask that all co-insurance and deductibles be paid at the time the service is performed. We will perform courtesy billing for you, provided you have given us all pertinent billing information.

Your insurance coverage is an agreement between you and your insurance company. Financial responsibility rests with the patient for deductibles, co-insurance and non-covered services. In addition to cash and personal checks, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and debit cards. We also offer CareCredit payment option.

Don’t hesitate us to call us with any insurance or billing questions.

  • Prior to your procedure, call 1-844-863-7688
  • For general billing questions after your procedure, call 1-855-607-1103
  • To make a payment, call 1-877-299-8675.

The Cost of Your Procedure

Because you are responsible for costs for covered healthcare services until you reach your deductible, you should comparison shop if you elect to have a nonemergency procedure.

You can use tools like Healthcare Bluebook and the Medicare Procedure Price Lookup (for Medicare patients).  Many health insurance websites also provide information on where to find in-network services.
