           support in the event of a denial

       *  We can look-up your deductible and coinsurance during the informational  

           appointment, but there's an important additional piece of information that we   

           don't have access to.  If you call your insurance company and advocate for

If we cannot accept that amount we will provide you referrals to an organization that may be able to.
