Fees and Insurance
Fees for initial office visits are difficult to quote in advance because it is hard to estimate the complexity of your problem over the phone and without a full physical and history. We charge for the time required to obtain a history of your illness, perform an examination, and complete a treatment plan. Follow-up exams are generally less unless a new problem arises that necessitates a comprehensive evaluation. We try to keep costs down by phoning you with test and consultation results rather than arranging a separate visit.
Surgery fees are initially sent to the insurance company. Once they have paid their share, then you will receive a statement from us for your part. If your illness is a result of an accident or injury, we submit the claim to the insurer – it is important to have the claim number and accident information when you come to the office. Should finances be an issue, we are more than happy to arrange a payment plan. Our desire is not to create financial hardship for you.
