Our price match policy matches our local competitors’ rates as long as the competitors are legitimate businesses with a website indicating the price relatively lower than the one mentioned on our site.

Our prepayment policy is to refund patients the full price if we cannot provide them with the service they signed for. We require prepayment to secure an appointment with a medical provider to better utilize available time slots for our patients who need immediate care.

Unfortunately, none of our services are covered by insurance because our prices are already within the affordable range.

However, if you have out-of-network provider coverage, we will be happy to provide you with all the required documentation (i.e., a detailed receipt with the diagnosis procedure codes) so that you can submit it to your insurance company for compensation.

For card-only patients: We prefer gift card/prepaid Master, Visa, Amex, and Discover cards online. Patients can always pay cash in person at our clinics.
*For online payments, we do not accept PayPal.*
