Fees & Insurance

As a patient of BIMS, you are responsible for the total charges incurred from each visit to your practitioner. Charges are to be paid at the time of each visit.

We recognize and appreciate that health care can involve major financial commitment. We aim to provide you with effective and affordable health care.

Checks and Venmo are acceptable forms of payment. Returned checks will be subject to a $50.00 NSF fee.

Please remember that you have the primary relationship with your insurance company and you are responsible for the total amount owed at the time of your visit. We will provide you with the appropriate super-bill, with the appropriate codes needed for you to be reimbursed by your insurance company. You will need to mail the super-bill provided to your insurance company and your insurance company may or may not reimburse you for all the amounts billed. Before your first visit contact your insurance company or refer to your insurance contract agreement regarding coverage for Alternative and Complementary medical services. Items to note are: 1) the service is covered, 2) for which diagnosis is covered, 3) how many visits are allowed per calendar year, 4) the amount of your deductible, 5) are there any limitations. Answers to these questions will help clarify treatment and financial responsibility.
