Financials

We accept cash, checks and credit cards. 

Please call for our current fees. 

Dr. Skefich does her utmost to keep fees reasonable so that she may see as many people as possible. 

Payment plans are possible by request. 

Dr. Skefich’s primary treatment therapy is “cranio-sacral therapy” which is a non-billable therapy. 

If you need a “superbill” insurance receipt to submit to your own insurance for reimbursement, please be sure to tell us PRIOR to your session, otherwise, Dr. Skefich might not perform a billable service in your therapeutic visit. Once Dr. Skefich is aware that you need a superbill, she will be sure to have your visit in compliance with insurance standards, so she can provide this coded receipt for you to submit. We request that you ask your insurance if they cover “OUT OF NETWORK CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES” prior to asking Dr. Skefich for superbills, because it will alter your visit therapy styles when superbills are needed. 

Dr. Skefich does accept certain auto-accident claims. You can call your insurance agent and ask if you or the party at fault has a “Med-Pay” rider on the insurance plan*. If Med-Pay accepts responsibility, Dr. Skefich can accept the claim. There are other possibilities where Dr. Skefich may accept an auto accident or slip and fall injury claim. Please call us for assistance. 

Dr. Skefich is a Medicare provider, but is no longer accepting Medicare cases (except in rare cases). Medicare is very limiting to Dr. Skefich’s therapy style. Feel free to bring up the question in your visit with Dr. Skefich.

Dr. Skefich is NOT a MediCal provider. 

Dr. Skefich does not bill private health insurance plans. 

* MedPay: Dr. Skefich highly recommends that every person obtain a MedPay rider on their auto insurance plan. It is very inexpensive. MedPay will pay for all medical related expenses that are reasonable, at any accepting clinic or practitioner’s office (including MD, chiropractior, and acupuncturist). It works whether you were at fault or not, no matter if you were the driver or passenger, no matter who’s car you were in, and in fact, even if you were hit as a pedestrian. Give your own auto insurance agent a call and ask for the highest coverage allowed. It is an easy way to be sure you are secure in your care in the event in any auto related injury.
