Insurance and Payment
The way we handle payment and insurance is pretty straight forward. (A summary of our payment policies can be found at the bottom of this page.)
You pay us at the end of your appointment and we give you a special receipt called a superbill that contains all the codes for you to make a Member Claim with your insurance company. Your insurance company then reimburses you directly based upon your coverage.
The member claim process is relatively easy and just requires a few steps.
-
You will first need to get a member claim form from your insurance company. You can click on the name of your insurance company below or if it is not there a Google search for Your Insurance Company name member claim form. For example, if your insurance is Blue Cross Blue Shield of Iowa, you would search for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Iowa Member Claim Form, and it pops up in the search results as a pdf. If you are unable to find your form, please let us know and we will assist you in finding it.
-
After finding your member claim form, you will transfer the information from the super bill to the form and mail or fax it to your insurance company.
-
As always, if you have any difficulty with any part of this process let us know an we'll assist you as much as we can.
