Insurance

Dr. Vale does not participate with any health insurance companies.  Many insurance policies cover a portion of the visit for out-of-network providers. We recommend that you contact your health insurance provider to determine your coverage before your first visit. Payment in full is expected at each session, so a lengthy turnaround can be an important consideration.

This office can provide billing statements called “Superbills” which contain information commonly needed to submit a claim, including diagnostic codes, the below CPT and POS codes, associated fees, payments received, and physician NPI, DEA and medical license numbers.
