We are required by contract from your insurance company to collect co-payments. Copayments must be paid at the time of the visit.

You must present your health insurance card at each visit.  If we cannot verify your eligibility, payment in full is expected at the time of visit.

Please check with your insurance carrier regarding any benefit or co-payment questions.
