This allows him spend more time and provide better service to his patients. Patients may pay for services with cash, check, or credit card. Typically medical insurance does reimburse patients for “out-of-network” providers, so total out-of-pocket expenses are competitive with those practices that file insurance. Receipts and other materials will be provided to patients to simplify their communications with insurance companies.
