    • We protect your privacy by verifying you are the person that matches the chart since we will be discussing the information in that chart.  Sometimes the changes are subtle on an insurance card and we need to have the most current information available. Data entry mistakes can happen.  Errors in information may cause claims to not process or delay the process causing you undue stress.  We verify information in an effort to minimize the stress caused by accidental errors.

    • Some services have what is called first dollar coverage which means that the insurance company will pay the first dollar and not apply any deductible or copay to your service- this is typical with wellness.

      Services that do not have first dollar coverage typically have a copay or deductible and co-insurance that are the part you agreed to be responsible for when you signed up for your insurance.  If you feel like you should not have a balance you should call your insurance company immediately and then contact us or any provider with the information you received.

      Some services are not a benefit of your insurance plan, therefore, they are not paid and remain your responsibility.
