Fees

Do you accept Insurance?

What do I owe?

You will owe me the base fee which is a cash discount fee . We will discuss this at your first appointment.

Will I owe more?

Depends on your location. IF you live outside of the hour radius I normally serve, there may be a travel fee.

Do you offer any discount (s)?

You can receive a discount from the above fee, we will discuss that at your appointment.

Do you accept payments?

Yes, but the full amount (the cash discount) needs to be paid by 35 weeks.

What if my insurance pays? Do I still owe?

Yes, you will still need to pay me. I do not accept or bill insurance. So, depending on what your insurance might pay you, you may still owe me. They may reimburse what you pay me, but you will have to turn in your receipt. I will NOT bill them. (Read that again please). Remember-you are not allowed to 'make money' off from your insurance company either.
