- We ask that you pay all estimated co-payments and deductibles for treatment at the time service is provided.
- Our estimates are subject to final approval by your insurance company which means the amount we calculate as due is subject to change.
- We strive to provide an accurate estimate of fees and insurance coverage before beginning treatment.
- However, due to variances and complexities of insurance contracts, we cannot guarantee when or how much your insurance will pay.
- Please remember that your account is your financial responsibility.
