We believe that by giving our patients the confidence and ease to make informed healthcare and expense decisions, we can enhance the quality of care and value of treatment received.
MyoMovement operates as a fee-for-service business. We will provide patients with a superbill upon request, which they can submit to their insurance provider for potential reimbursement. It's important to note that we cannot guarantee payment from dental or medical insurance.
