Payment Policy

Thank you for choosing The Health and Integrative Wellness office as your health care provider. We are committed to building a successful provider-patient relationship with you and your family. Your clear understanding of our Patient Financial Policy is important to our professional relationship. Please ask if you have any questions about our fees, our policies, or your responsibilities. It is your responsibility to notify our office of any patient information changes (i.e. address, insurance info etc.).

Co-pays: The patient is expected to present an insurance card at each visit. All co-payments and past due balances are due at time of check-in. We accept cash, check or credit cards.

Insurance Claims: Insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company. We will bill your primary insurance company as a courtesy to you when possible. In order to properly bill your insurance, company we require that you disclose all insurance information including primary and secondary insurance, as well as, any changes. Failure to provide complete insurance information may result in patient responsibility for the entire bill. It is the insurance company that makes the final determination of your eligibility and benefits. If we are out of network for your insurance company and your insurance pays you directly, you are responsible for payment and agree to forward the payment to us immediately.
