financially responsible for those services.

As a courtesy to our patients, we will bill your insurance company for office visits, injections, x-rays and surgical procedures. Based on your insurance or plan benefit coverage, it may be necessary to collect deductibles, co-pays, co-insurances and/or a deposit at the time of each visit. Please contact your insurance carrier prior to your visit to obtain complete benefit coverage information. We accept cash, personal checks, debit cards, MasterCard, Visa and American Express. We accept most major insurances, including both Highmark and UPMC Health Plan.
