Fees and Payments

We are more than happy to discuss our fees with you and give you a cost estimate in advance. When making appointments, please give staff your insurance information. A staff member will contact your insurance company and obtain the necessary financial information for you. We participate with most insurance plans and are happy to assist you in accessing your insurance company’s fee structure. Most insurance carriers pay only a percentage of the usual fee and patients are responsible for the balance due (copay). If you are not sure of your balance, you should call your insurance company in advance. Your balance is due at the time of service and can not be billed at a later date.

Please inquire whether a primary care referral is required for your visit. We are unable to see patients without a necessary referral.

Insurances

We accept almost all the private insurances as well as Maryland Medicaid and all the subsidiary insurances of Medicaid, except United Healthcare. We also do not participate with Medicare Insurance.
