To keep our administrative costs minimal, we have decided to remain OUT-OF-NETWORK so that we can continue to offer quality services for a fee that fairly reimburses the time and efforts of our Providers and Practitioners - without compromising the quality of services and environment for our patients.

We are proud that we can keep our fees near-Medicare rates so that you should be reimbursed most of your out-of-pocket expenses (except for those therapies specified as non-insurance reimburseable). That being said, we encourage you to contact your insurance carrier BEFORE SCHEDULING so as to clarify which services will be covered.

NORTH SHORE OSTEOPATHIC does not directly submit insurance claims - BUT after your fees are paid in full, a “SUPERBILL” will be provided for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please request this option from staff - OR - request this in the comments section during online scheduling.

Payment Options

We understand that paying our fees up front may daunting to some, but what makes our services even more cost-effective is that we are targeted in our approaches and have a reputation for providing significant relief in your symptoms in fewer than five (5) appointments. Patients may pay on the date of service - OR - agree to alternate billing options).

  • Debit or Credit cards (American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, JCB or UnionPay International logo)

  • Check, cash or money order with payment to North Shore Osteopathic, LLC

    • If acupuncture is suggested as part of plan of care, patients should anticipate weekly appointments for 4-6 weeks which may or may not be scheduled as part of the Team-Based Followup visit.

    • If Soft Tissue Bodywork is suggested as part of plan of care, scheduling is usually at the convenience of the patient but recommendations will be provided by the Practitioner.

    • If individualized appointments for Soft Tissue Bodywork or Acupuncture are preferred, scheduling will be done directly with these Practitioners/Providers (not part of Team-based services, which may mean that insurance carrier may not cover as a physician does not provide direct supervision).
