Payment

---

I am an out-of-network provider with all insurance plans. You will be responsible for paying me directly for the full costs billed for services rendered. I am happy to provide you with invoices that you can submit to your carrier and/or Flex Spending or Health Savings Account (FSA/HSA) to be reimbursed directly per the terms of your plans. I accept payment via check and also Visa and MasterCard (including FSA cards). Please contact me for a fee schedule. I encourage you to contact your insurance carrier to understand the details of any out of network benefits, including rules related deductibles, co-insurance, allowed amounts, and limits. Fees paid to an out of network provider might not count toward your deductible or out of pocket limit. You can choose to get care from a provider or facility in your health plan’s network, which may cost you less. You have the right to request and receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.

Depending on patient needs, I sometimes recommend a referral to additional healthcare providers. I am sometimes able to provide a list of recommended providers, though you are welcome to choose any provider whether or not on this list. You will need to contact the provider to obtain further information about billing practices, including whether that provider is in-network with your insurance plan. Your health insurance plan should also have a toll-free telephone number and website where you can find out what providers are in your network and receive estimates and possible charge limits for specific services.
