Using Medical Insurance Benefits
If you would like me to submit your insurance claim to your insurance company electronically on your behalf please download the Insurance Submission form below.
Alternatively, I can provide you with a monthly statement called a Superbill which is a detailed receipt that you submit yourself and provides all the information insurance companies need to create a claim and you can potentially get some reimbursement.
