Not in your network? There may be a reason Dr. Hartley has chosen not to be in your network. In many cases it is less expensive for a patient if Dr. Hartley is an out of network provider. Why? Because a patient often pays a flat 10%-20% if they go to a provider out of their network, which in our case would be $4-$8 for most people. However, if a patient goes to an in-network provider, they usually have a set co-pay of $10-$50.
We are always respectful of your finances and seek to find the best arrangement for you. Bottom line, we'll make sure you get the best care possible at a cost you can afford. No one is ever denied care based on their financial situation.
