Why don't you take insurance? Our patients are able to use their medical reimbursement or HSA cards to pay for their treatment. We have chosen not to participate as providers with insurance plans in order to focus on patient care and to avoid what Dr. Tharp believes are excessive intrusions into patient confidentiality by insurance companies. Unlike offices who are obligated to surrender records, follow arbitrary insurance guidelines and answer to insurance companies in matters regarding your care, we have a specialized, fee for service practice providing the highest standards in training, experience, expertise, privacy, and confidentiality. Upon patient request, we provide a coded receipt – which includes diagnosis code(s) - that may be used to submit for reimbursement, but you are in control of whether you submit that information to your carrier and how much information you care to provide. We do not accept phone calls from, complete forms for or submit treatment plans to insurance companies. You may request that the diagnosis code be omitted from your receipt if you do not intend to submit it for insurance reimbursement, or if you plan to submit receipts on your income tax and do not want the diagnosis included. |
