Insurance & Pricing Questions:
-
We have chosen to operate as a cash-based practice to provide a higher quality of care without the constraints of insurance. Here’s why:
Care Focus: Insurance companies dictate which treatments are "necessary," often prioritizing quick fixes over comprehensive, long-term solutions. Our cash-based model allows us to prioritize your unique goals rather than conforming to insurance guidelines.
Time: Insurance-based care often limits session durations and frequency, forcing providers to see multiple patients simultaneously and reduce one-on-one time. By not accepting insurance, we dedicate the full session to you without compromise.
Transparency: Insurance billing can lead to unexpected fees or denials, creating confusion for patients. Our pricing is straightforward, with no hidden costs.
Reimbursement Options: We provide superbills upon request so you can submit them to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
This model ensures you receive the highest standard of care tailored to your specific needs and goals. Check out the page titled “The Equinox Difference” to find out more!
