We will bill your insurance for you and attempt to assist you in resolving insurance payment issues. You should contact your insurance carrier for other specific concerns. We gladly accept Debit, Visa, and MasterCard for patient’s portion of fees. IF you paid in advance, any credits due will be refunded after insurance payments are received.
