COSTS (APPROXIMATE):
Because Botox and/or the surgery we offer are new techniques
in migraine/head pain management, some insurance companies
do not consider them to be “covered services” and do not
provide any reimbursement. Other companies may provide
partial reimbursement to varying degrees. We are pleased
to provide documentation of our evaluation and care to
your insurer, complete with diagnostic and treatment codes,
but our services are typically prepaid directly by our
patients. This means that office charges must be paid at
the time of your visit, and surgical fees must be paid
at least two weeks in advance of your surgery date. We
do not routinely bill or correspond directly with insurers,
though we may do so in unusual circumstances.
