Prior to Attending An Appointment

 

We ask that you obtain an explanation/verification of benefits for our services. To do this, before you attend an appointment with us, call your insurance provider by using the 800 number on the back of your card. We know this takes extra time to check before you come in, but we don’t want you to have any surprises when it comes to your coverage.
