Care and Pricing

— Common questions

We are a cash-pay clinic. This allows us to spend more one-on-one time with patients and build treatment plans around what you actually need—not insurance restrictions.

Yes. We can provide a superbill (an itemized receipt with diagnostic codes) that many PPO plans accept for out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan, and we’re happy to walk you through it.

Yes. We accept HSA and FSA cards at checkout.

New Patient appointments are $155.  Follow up appointments are $115.  

Most patients are seen within days—not weeks. No referral required.

Often, no. Many athletes find our care costs less than repeated co-pays, deductibles, and weeks of limited visits through insurance. Because we spend more time one-on-one and focus on faster recovery, patients often need fewer visits overall.
