How Does this Office Work?

The initial office visit is approximately 1 hour long at which time a thorough history will be taken to review your symptoms, as well as a physical exam will be done, and recommendations will be made for any laboratory and saliva testing needed to address your concerns.

If saliva testing is done, and most often it is needed, then a follow up visit is required for a thorough explanation of your results as it relates to your symptoms and concerns.

Explanation of Fees

This office is a fee-for-service office. This means you will pay for your office visit at the time of service. We provide the superbill (receipt) with all of the necessary information needed to submit to your insurance carrier for possible reimbursement. We also have many of the different insurance carrier forms needed to send with your receipt.
Most major PPO insurance carriers will reimburse a portion, if not a good majority of your office visit back to you. However this is subject to your individual policy’s restrictions, deductibles, and co-payments. We work with laboratories that will bill your insurance carriers for all labs done through our office which then is subject to your individual policy. If you have a HMO type insurance this does not apply and you will NOT be reimbursed for your visit at this office.

Initial Office visit is very individual but usually ranges from $200.00-$260.00. This range varies based on the amount of time spent with the patient and the complexity of the care involved. Any additional testing will incur an additional charge.

Saliva Kits range from $82-$235.00 per kit dependent on type of testing. Fees are paid directly to saliva laboratory.

Follow-up consultation is required to go over saliva test results with recommendations at an additional charge of $50.00 per 15 minutes.

Additional follow up visits range from $95.00 and up dependent on time spent and if any testing done.
