Patients are given an original receipt, which can be submitted by the patient to their carrier(s), but we accept no responsibility whatsoever for the extent of reimbursement by that carrier(s). The carrier(s) may then reimburse the patient directly, in whole, in part, or not at all, according to the carrier(s) provisions. If you are a patient with Medicare (Medicare beneficiary), you should be aware that you are giving up all payment by Medicare for services furnished by this “opt-out” practice and should not expect any reimbursement from Medicare for our services.
