Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do you take insurance?​
-
Insurance companies are selective about what services they choose to cover, therefore dictating treatment and not allowing me to develop comprehensive and individualized plans. For this reason, I do not accept insurance.
-
If you have a PPO insurance plan and you have met your deductible, it is likely that a percentage of the service fees will be reimbursed to you at the out-of-network rate. I cannot guarantee the rate of reimbursement your plan allows for. If you have any questions, you will need to contact your insurance company prior to scheduling an appointment to confirm your reimbursement.​
