Do I need a referral?
If your insurance plan requires you to get a referral

from a specialist, it is your responsibility to get the
referral. This must be done prior to your appointment, as
most insurance companies will not accept a request for referral
after the service has been rendered. If you do not get a
referral, your insurance is not required to pay, and you
will be responsible for the payment of all charges.

This is determined by your insurance coverage. If your
insurance requires a co-payment, we appreciate your payment
at the time of your appointment.
Are your services covered by my insurance?

by your particular insurance policy. If you have any questions,
contact your insurance company or our office for additional
assistance.
