Our practice is insurance based. We submit claims for the services you received in office directly to your insurance provider. Sometimes a service will not be covered, in which case you are responsible for the bill. You will also incur charges for services if you have a copayment, coinsurance, or deductible on your plan.

These are all cost sharing measures (fees that the insurance company does not cover) that the patient is responsible for covering as mandated in their insurance policy. Each policy is different, and you will be informed of what you owe at the beginning of each visit.

A copayment is a set fee assessed per visit to a doctor.

Coinsurance is the percentage of a service that the patient is responsible for paying. For example, an insurance company may cover 80% of medical costs, leaving the patient to pay for the remaining 20%.

A deductible is a set amount of medical costs that the patient is responsible for paying out of pocket before the insurance company will begin to cover costs.

This means that your insurance did not cover a service that you received in our office. Please follow the payment instructions included with your bill to settle your accounts.

We accept:
Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield HMO & PPO plans, Cigna, Medicare, Tricare, and United Healthcare plans.
