Insurance

Our office operates as an out-of-network provider. We can provide you with the necessary paperwork to file for your own insurance reimbursement. Generally speaking, most insurance companies will pay a percentage (80%, 70% or 60% are common) after you meet your deductible. Check with your insurance company for information about your specific benefits.
