Depending on your coverage, your responsibility will be a copay or co-insurance. We will bill your insurance and notify you by invoice if there is any remaining balance for you to pay after your claim has been reviewed. Again, that balance may vary depending on your coverage.

You may reach out to our team and we will work with your insurance to confirm your estimated cost before your first appointment.

Self-paying: The cost will depend on the visit type. For your first visit the cash price is $250. For ongoing visits, the cash price will range from $120-$250, depending on the complexity of care.
