We’re out of network, but we will be filing claims directly with your insurance on your behalf. We’re working with a billing service behind the scenes to help maximize your reimbursement.

That means after your visit, you don’t need to do anything—we’ll submit all the paperwork, and your insurance company will process it according to your plan. Depending on your coverage, you may still be responsible for things like deductibles, coinsurance, or copays, but you will be reimbursed directly.

We know insurance can be confusing, and we’re doing our best to make this part as simple and seamless as possible. Let us know if you have questions—we’re happy to help.

If you ever have questions about your benefits, coverage, or what to expect financially, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help make this as smooth as possible.
