Payment Policy

Payment is collected at the time services are rendered. Most insurance policies require patients to pay for co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles. It is in your best interest to be aware of these costs. Please understand that with the numerous medical insurance policies available we may not be aware of your exact benefits. We accept cash, checks, credit cards (Visa/ MC/ Discover and AMEX). Please see our patient and staff responsibilities for the type of insurance you are using. Also, we currently accept Care Credit. We ask patients who are currently uninsured or have insurance plans that may not cover certain benefits to apply for Care Credit. The website is www.carecredit.com. If additional arrangements are necessary, our billing department will assist you in the matter. A fee of $30.00 will be charged to your account for returned checks.APPLE PAY IS NOW ACCEPTED.
