More information on payments and coverage
Because we accept insurance, we can reduce out-of-pocket expenses and still offer high-quality care. You may not have any cost related to your visit with us, depending upon your insurance plan. Most patients pay a small copay per visit, subject to any deductible or coinsurance that your health plan has. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services determines appropriate billing guidelines. These guidelines depend on the length of the visit and the complexity and severity of your diagnosis. For this reason, we need to wait until after the visit for the final determination. We then submit the claim to your insurance company. The charges are calculated based upon pre-negotiated prices with your insurance company. Your insurance company will then determine what amount, if any, is your responsibility per your insurance plan.

Great listener and make you feel comfortable.
February 15, 2023John S.Verified patientVideo visit
the experience was well, he is a good listener and was really wonderful with explaining anything I didn't understand. tbh I just wasn't expecting the aver I got in the end. I understand what he says, and possibly even agree, but I did hope for a little bit more help.
