Q: Does Dr. Lisson take insurance?

You should call your plan directly to confirm that Dr. Lisson is covered under your specific plan. Dr. Lisson can bill other insurance plans if a client has out-of-network benefits, but full payment from the client will be expected upfront; a refund will then be issued to the client, if a client's plan issues a payment to Dr. Lisson for out-of-network benefits. All billing will be completed through Dr. Lisson’s office. Clients are responsible for knowing their copay, co-insurance, and any deductible amounts prior to their first visit and submitting these payments on the day of service ( see Fee & Payment policy/Financial Contract within the Registration Forms page of this website.
