We understand that you have a busy life and we want to make your visits with us easy to manage. An important part of your care is insurance coverage. We recommend that you talk with your insurance company about your coverage before your first visit with us. Use our Insurance Coverage Checklist to assist you with what questions to ask to get accurate information about your coverage. If you don’t have insurance coverage, please see the bottom of the checklist for helpful information.
Our patients need to be referred to us by their primary care doctor or another provider. Your doctor can use this Physician Referral Order form to make the referral.
It will be helpful if you complete our Assessment Form before your first visit so we can provide the care that best fits your needs.
