Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately, no. Payment is expected at the time of service.
Commercial insurance/PPO - We can provide you with an itemized receipt which contains all the required information to submit insurance. If you have out-of-network coverage, you may be reimbursed for at least a portion of your visit expenses.
HMO - We do not participate with any HMO's and therefore you will most likely not be reimbursed.
Medicare or Medicaid - We are not Medicare or Medicaid providers, and you cannot submit claims or be reimbursed for our services.
Can any of your doctors be my Primary Care Physician(PCP)?
