Will Insurance help pay for my treatment?
There is no direct relationship between our office and your medical insurance company. The type of plan chosen by you and/or your employer determines your insurance benefits. As such, we have no say in the selection of your insurance company, no control over the terms of your contract, the methods of reimbursement or the determination of your insurance benefits. Therefore, we do not accept assignment of benefits from any insurance company. Any reimbursement by your insurance company should be made directly to you according to the terms of your contract with them. As a courtesy, we will provide all necessary documents to assist you in filing a medical insurance claim.
