Patient Fees/Insurance
Most workers’ compensation insurance is accepted
upon written agreement with the insurer.
Most evaluations for
individual patients outside of workers’ compensation
insurance are fee for service, due at the time of the
appointment, unless other arrangements have been
made. Fees for services are based upon the nature and
complexity of the problem. Some fees include
the cost of detailed report preparation and
follow-up communications. Patients will receive an itemized receipt
which they can submit to their health insurance company
for reimbursement. Patients are responsible
for obtaining all necessary "preauthorizations" from
their insurance provider for referral, consultation,
and/or new patient care.
Payment by
check,
credit or debit card, or cash
is accepted.
