FEES
Insurance
We are out-of-network for all insurance plans. As an out-of-network provider we provide you with a “superbill” to submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement. Please contact your insurance company for details on your level of possible reimbursement for out-of-network visits. The initial visit code is 99205 and the follow-up visit code is 99215. The exception is for Medicare, for which we do not offer a “superbill.”

All payment is due at the time of service.
