For patients with commercial insurance, our office will file your claim with the insurance company. We require deductibles and co-payments to be paid at the time of service.
For our patients’ convenience we also accept cash, personal checks, debit cards, Mastercard, VISA and American Express.
Patients with no insurance will be required to pay at least ½ of the first office visit at the time of service. A payment plan will be arranged for the balance if necessary.
If surgery is recommended, a patient with no insurance is expected to pay a deposit, of at least ½ of the proposed surgery charges. A payment plan will be arranged for the balance if necessary.
