New patients with insurance: please be advised that you must bring your current valid insurance card to your first appointment for our record and be prepared to pay your co-pay at the time of check in. If you are unable to provide us with complete insurance information, you may still be seen but only as a cash paying patient.

Cash paying patients are expected to pay $80.00 deposit at the time of check in and the remaining balance incurred during the visit at the time of check out. (Office visits without procedures or labs range between $80 and &$150 on the average)

Personal checks will not be accepted from first time patients or patients with history of bounced checks.

You will be billed for $65.00 if you can't make to an appointment but didn't bother to cancel it. Please be considerated to other patients who could have your slot.

Our clinic is a family practice office; we are not a laboratory facility or vaccine clinic. We submit billing to your insurance company for blood work or vaccine services based on the rules your insurance companies set for a family practice provider. Your insurance company dictates whether you should be billed for any unpaid balance. Please address any concerns you may have with your insurance company's reimbursement policies with your insurance company, not with clinic staff.
