Do you accept Assignments?

Yes, and we do participate with most insurance companies.


What are Assignments?

The Insurance company sets an allowable dollar amount to use for your needed product. Unless the provider accepts assignments on the product you will have to pay the difference between the cost and the allowable amount. Our office DOES accept assignment on MOST of our products, which means we write off the difference between the allowable amount. There may be a portion the patient is required to pay if they choose to get an upgraded product. Your deductible must be met before insurance will pay 80% of the allowable. Call for more details.


Does Medicaid pay for these products?

Yes, Both TN & VA Medicaid cover these products. If you have a TN or VA Medicaid plan– you must have prior authorization in order for them to cover. Before scheduling your appointment , please have a prescription from your doctor to expedite the process and call our office to see what your insurance requirements are.
