The office required a $50 deposit, and claimed to be part of an insurance network, but had left the network and was considered a outside provider. They estimated a oral evaluation at $180. The area norm is $106, and then the increased the bill to $224 essentially double billing me. Insurance would only pick up 80% of the bill, leaving me stuck with an over $100 bill that should have cost me nothing since it should have been covered by insurance as a in network provider. The Dr. was patient and explained things well. The assistant was very helpful. The billing and receptionist is dragging the practice down. This was a initial consultation, and I do not trust them to return for further treatment because of their (un-orthidox) billing practice and bold faced lie about being a in service provider.
