Healthcare, Insurance & Finances

Obtaining Health Insurance and Healthcare Coverage can be complex and difficult in itself, and then when we actually have health insurance, it can be frustrating to understand what it actually covers.  Sometimes we feel our health insurance should have covered a procedure, but it didn’t.  If this is the case for you, give us a call and together we can try to assist you and your child.
