Insurance will not be billed for office appointments

Please note that insurance providers do not cover in-office consultations, appointments, or related non-surgical services provided by Dr. Harding, as these are considered out-of-network and fall outside the scope of reimbursable benefits.

For this reason, our office does not bill insurance for these services, and payment is required directly from the patient at the time of the visit.

This policy helps streamline care, reduce administrative delays, and maintain transparency in patient responsibility.

Surgical procedures, however, remain eligible for insurance billing and will be handled accordingly.
