You ask, and we answer
The following questions are frequently asked of us, and we decided to present them here for you.
Payment for insurance co-pays or fees are the client’s responsibility and are due at the end of each session. We accept cash, check or credit card. We ask that each client have a credit card number on file to cover any fees that are denied or not paid by insurance.
As an alternative, clients may choose to have outstanding balances for co-pays and deductibles charged to a credit card.

The agency has a contract with the insurance company and provides you with care and submits your claim directly to the insurance.
The agency is not contracted with the insurance company to provide you with treatment, but insurance may cover some of the cost. You are then responsible for the rest.
