Medical Insurance

Insurance coverage varies. Your policy may require a copayment or preauthorization. Additionally, tests or imaging studies may need insurance approval. We recommend you contact your insurer’s customer service department for details. Note: We no longer accept Kaiser Permanente.

The Affordable Care Act requires all persons to carry health insurance. Learn more at hhs.gov.
