A: Yes, payment plan programs are offered through Care Credit and M-Lend. Please visit our payment plan page for more details.

SELF-PAY

All New Self Pay patients will be required to make a deposit of $100 to $250 before being seen by any of our providers.

If you are self-pay, you will be expected to pay the day’s charges on the day of the service. When you pay at time of service you will be given a discount on eligible services. There may be additional charges for tests and other services rendered subsequent to your visit. You will be billed for these items. If you are having a surgery, you will be expected to make mutually agreeable payment arrangements prior to receiving the service. If the service is considered elective, payment must be made in full prior to the services being performed.

Note: We do not fill out FMLA and/or disability forms for cosmetic plastic surgery.

Seriously past due accounts – those older than 90 days or those failing to honor agreed-upon payment terms – will be sent to a collection agency. If your account is sent to a collection agency you must pay all collection agency fees, plus any fees associated with the collection of this account. Additionally, patients can be dismissed from our practice for financial matters and will have to seek their health care elsewhere.
