Lab Waiver Info

  • Your insurance may not cover labs if they are done during your child’s appointment.
  • If your child needs a lab done while you’re here, you may be required to pay at the time of service.
  • A staff member will discuss this with you if it applies to your insurance policy.

If you have any questions about the Lab Waiver, please contact our billing department at:
