Insurance

We share with you the challenge of complying with the numerous and changing requirements of managed care and insurance providers. We are obligated, by contract, to adhere to these requirements. It is important that you verify, and are familiar with, your own insurance coverage and requirements before you come for your exam. Some carriers require precertification for certain exams. We will do our utmost to work with the circumstances of each patient's individual situation. For those insurance carriers with which we participate, we will file the insurance claim on your behalf. We accept Medicare assignment for all covered procedures.

We do welcome patients with indemnity plans and, as a courtesy, we will file your claim with your commercial carrier.

In circumstances where insurance does not apply, we will work with patients in making flexible payment arrangements. For patient convenience, we also accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

It is important to bring your insurance card with you to every visit. A copy will be made when you register, so that the most current information is always available in your records
