Paying with Health Insurance: You Must Verify Your Insurance
I want to use my insurance: Insurance is a very complicated way to pay for anything these days. I have tried to make paying for my services as simple as possible. However, according to ALL insurance companies, it is the responsibility of the insured to make sure my services will be paid for. That means you making a phone call to your insurance company before your appointment day and talking to the customer service department.
Regretfully, your session will not begin until proof of coverage is provided. Please verify your insurance before arriving at the office.
