Groups
Cash Paying Customers (cash, credit, debit)
Paying cash/credit/debit has its advantages and we can talk about that. I have chosen to be an out-of-network practitioner because insurance carriers create too many barriers for payment to the provider. I will provide you a superbill/invoice for you to get reimbursed by your insurance carrier if they offer reimbursement. It is advised you check with the insurance carrier policy on this first.
