How does Self-Pay work at your office?

If we are not contracted with your Health Plan, if you do not have any Health Plan coverage, or if we don’t expect your Health Plan to cover or share a good or service that we provide, we will collect Self-Pay rates at the time of service. At your request, we can also give you an itemized bill for submission to your Health Plan for Out-of-Network benefits or other reimbursement (if applicable). We accept cash, personal check, debit, and credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express).

We use pricing tools such as Health Care Blue Book to ensure fair pricing for Self-Pay patients,as well as for goods and services that are not covered or shared by Health Plans.

Do you take Out-of-State patients?

Yes we do! Contact our office to learn more. 760-983-4024
