How Does My Care Get Paid For?
Some offices offer testing and treatment for free. Others have sliding scale fees meaning they set their fees based on your income. Also, if you are covered by health insurance, you can see a provider that accepts that insurance and the insurance will pay for it. It's important to ask a doctor's office before making an appointment what insurance they accept or if they have a sliding scale for fees.
