There is a $30 fee on all office visits that encompass a global level of non covered services provided in your session ranging from moxa, guasha, cupping, thermal and manual procedures. The value you receive from these services is reflected in your attaining an optimal treatment outcome. We value your comfort and care and rely on our processes and policies for the coordination of service, technology, facilities, regulations, forms, coding and billing.

NON-COVERED EXPENSES

Our office is committed to providing the best treatment for our patients. You are directly responsible for payment of medical supplies, comfort items, additional time and procedures we use in the course of your treatment. You may be responsible for payment of charges reduced or denied due to the insurance company’s arbitrary determination. There may also be charges that your insurance does not cover due to limitations of your policy, or what they consider reasonable and necessary or deem to be experimental or investigational. It is your responsibility to know what the policy limitations are. Our goal is to improve your condition successfully based on what your doctor deems reasonable and necessary treatment, and not on what your policy limitations are. Therefore, unless you alert us prior to treatment, you will be financially responsible for non-covered expenses.
