      • If you have insurance, we go to great lengths to be able to provide you with estimates as to what will be your portion of your bill given the type of plan and coverage that you have.

      • This typically can take from one month to a couple months depending on how fast your insurance process the claims that we sent them and we call or chat with them to verify that everything is being billed appropriately. 
      • A copy of your EOB is saved with your claim always for your convenience!
