In many cases, a plan may be confirmed during your appointment. The ability to begin treatment will depend on provider approval, eligibility requirements, and your individual circumstances.
Can I change the amount I pay each time?

If you need to update your repayment amount, you will usually need to contact the payment provider directly. Our clinic can guide you through this process if you require assistance.
What happens if I miss a repayment?
