Insurance

• Services may be reimbursable by your health insurance plan.

• In-Network Benefits differ from Out-of-Network Benefits in that you will usually pay a higher copayment or coinsurance for the latter. If I am not in your network, and you would prefer to see me rather than someone in your network, check to see if you have out-of-network benefits before assuming you have no insurance coverage with me. You are never restricted by your insurance company as to whom you can see. It is finances that drive your decision.
