Please be aware that some of the services provided may not be covered under your plan and you will be 100% responsible for these charges. Regarding insurance plans which we are a participating provider, all co-pays and deductibles are due at the time of treatment.
We accepted cash, checks, MasterCard, VISA, and American Express.

Dr. Ricardo Lemus is a participating Medicare and Medicaid provider. We will file your primary insurance claim for you. As a courtesy, we also will file claims to a secondary insurer. However, you must bring all necessary information and sign a release of information/assignment of benefits form.
Usual and Customary Charges
Our practice is committed to providing the best treatment for our patients and we charge what is usual and customary for our geographic area. You may be responsible for payment regardless of any non-contracted insurance company's arbitrary determination of usual and customary fees.
