More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits

I’d definitely go back! It was clear and concise conversation to get to bottom of tbjnvs and we tackled all of the points related to my issue to rule certain things out.

She was very helpful, informative and understanding. Made me comfortable immediately and she wanted to get me the help i needed asap, She even added blood work by request of me and that was done not even 15 minutes after i asked. She works effectively and makes me want to come back a million times! Thankyou !
I was informed about how my blood pressure is impacted by other meds I take, which a different prescribing doctor never mentioned which could’ve been problematic. I appreciated the time and care by this provider/doctor and NP & how they did educate and care for me. Thank you.
