APPROVED INSURANCES OAA accepts most major insurances. Please contact your insurance provider to learn if OAA is a participating provider with your specific plan. PRE-CERTIFICATION Many health insurance plans require patients to be pre-certified for service. Typically, this means you must get a referral from your primary care physician (PCP) BEFORE you meet with one of our physicians. Your cooperation in providing referral information is vital to us. We will not be able to provide treatment unless we have the proper document in hand and approval from your primary care physician and health insurance company. If you do not have the proper pre-certification paperwork, it may be necessary for us to delay, reschedule or cancel your appointment. Please contact OAA in advance of your appointment if you have questions about pre-certification and PCP referrals. CO-PAYS AND UNCOVERED BALANCES Typically, many insurance plans require a co-payment. Please review our Financial Policy and Payment Policy before your visit.

OAA is committed to providing the highest quality medical care in a cost-effective manner. In order to accomplish this, we depend upon prompt payment for the services we provide. Payment Policy: Payment is expected at the time treatment services are rendered. We accept cash, personal checks, VISA, MasterCard, debit cards and a variety of insurance plans. Typically, many insurance plans require a co-payment. We try to screen such plans so that we can request the proper amount of co-payment at the time of check out. Please be aware that we cannot waive an insurance co-payment for any reason, as this could jeopardize our participation in the plan. Your cooperation is appreciated in this regard. All billing questions for OAA's services can be directed to OAA's Billing Office by calling 610.973.6200 and selecting Option 8. Our staff will be happy to assist you.
