Insurance and Billing

Decoding Your Insurance Coverage:

We require your co-payment at the time of your visit. 

  • Deductibles are paid out of pocket each year before insurance will begin paying claims. Each family member usually has a separate deductible.

    Co-Payments are flat fees charged each time you visit the doctor or use any medical service, regardless of the cost of the procedure.

    Coinsurance requires you to pay a percentage of the total cost of the service. Many insurance plans require either co-insurance or co-pay but some charge both.
