Payment & Billing
Fees at Balanced Wellness are based on professional and community standards. I follow a direct pay model and ask that patients pay for services at the time they are rendered. Cash, checks, Venmo, VISA or Mastercard (including HSAs) are all accepted.
I have opted not to participate with any insurance plans, including Medicare. This allows me to spend quality time with my patients rather excessive time jumping through bureaucratic hoops which shortchange doctors and patients alike. I prefer to work directly for my patients and provide the time and care that they deserve, and not working for insurance groups that see you as a number. Ultimately, the doctor-patient relationship and your individual needs take precedence in my practice and I've found through experience that this is the only way to ensure that.
