Payment Plans

We recommend that you contact your insurance payer before any hospital, clinic or physician office visit to find out what is covered under your plan and whether you will be responsible for any part of the payment. If you are not able to pay your account in full, we can help you with a payment plan. And, if you are unable to pay for necessary medical care, you may qualify for financial assistance.
