Physician Service Fees

To keep our administrative costs minimal, Dr. Behling is currently OUT-OF-NETWORK so that she can continue to offer quality services for a fee that fairly reimburses time and efforts - without compromising the quality of services or our environment for patients.

Of course, paying out-of-pocket fees can be daunting, especially when you don’t know what you will get for your investment. We want you to know that Dr. Behling strives to make her services cost-effective by being extremely targeted in her approaches, and has a reputation for providing significant relief in your symptoms in fewer than six (6) appointments.

Payment Options

  • Health Savings (HSA) cards (discounted All-Inclusive fees will be automatically applied)

  • Check with payment to North Shore Osteopathic, LLC

  • Cash or money orders

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

Evaluation & Management Fees

FOR THOSE EXPECTING INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT. This appointment type is based on average Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United, Aetna and Cigna fees. For the record, Medicare tends to reimburse approximately $10-$20 per fee less than insurance carriers. Please note that Dr. Behling does not directly submit insurance claims for her patients. Neither does she charge extra co-pays or co-insurance fees.

It is encouraged that you contact your ensurance carrier to confirm, but it is likely that all visits are eligible for nearly full reimbursement - after payment to Dr. Behling is made in full. A special reimbursement receipt (i.e., “Superbill”) with the codes and fees identified for that date of service will be forwarded so that it can be submitted to the insurance carrier.

It may also be possible that additional acupuncture and/or massage services may be covered by your insurance if it is part of the Physician’s plan of care AND is supervised by the physician (not necessarily performed by her). Please contact your carrier for more information.

Team-Based Visits

Welcome to our unique team-based diagnostic and therapeutic approach to integrative care! This is what sets NORTH SHORE OSTEOPATHIC apart from other pain-management groups or practitioners. So to offer more efficient evaluation and management options, this collaborative approach requires no less than three Team Members to support you during consultation and followup appointments - as well as time dedicated EVERY WEEK to discussion and collaboration about shared patients.

These visits are eligible for insurance reimbursement - OR you may decide to receive the discounted All-Inclusive option.

If Mental Health Evaluation and Treatment (at your request) is involved as part of the consultation, invoicing to Counselors will be separate. Naturopathic Evaluation and Management is also available - and may be added for a nominal fee (please inquire with Dr. Behling for these discounted rates).

You may also opt into this option - or opt out - and continue your symptom management with single provider visits.
