Insurance carriers are rarely consistent in terms of reimbursement. They pay a portion of what they approve as being "usual and customary" for office visits, surgical procedures, treatments, and drugs. What the company approves or calls "usual and customary" is determined at its sole discretion. Therefore, all of your charges may not always be approved.

To participate with an insurance company, means that we will accept what they determine as usual and customary as payment in full. You are still responsible for any co-pay, deductible and non approved services such as cosmetic.

We will file all Non Par and secondary insurances for your convenience. However, payment of services are required the day services are provided. Payment received from your insurance company will be reimbursed to you.

PAYMENT
Some payments are due at your office visit. These payments could include:

• Co-payments, deductibles and coinsurance
• Fees for procedures that are not covered by insurance, including aesthetician services and skin care products
• Deposits for cosmetic/elective procedures

Please note: There may be additional charges posted to your account after you leave our office. These charges would be for services rendered during your visit which had not been entered into the billing system at the time of your departure.

We accept paymant in the form of cash, personal checks, VISA, MasterCard and Discover.

BILLING
We will file your primary insurance claim upon verification of name, address and policy number with the health insurance company. The EOB (Explanation of Benefits) from the insurance company will list services billed, amount paid and to whom payment was made.
