Frequently Asked Questions

How much will my procedure cost?

The cost of your procedure will depend on a number of factors, including your individual needs and treatment plan. Many nasal and sinus procedures are covered by insurance. For covered procedures, your out-of-pocket cost will depend on your insurance plan’s deductible, coinsurance, and copay rates. Use our free insurance check form to learn more about your coverage for nose and sinus treatment.

We have team members who specialize in navigating insurance benefits. The best way to determine your individual cost is to schedule a consultation appointment so we can determine your treatment plan and assess your insurance coverage.

I have insurance, why am I being billed?

If a service is covered, you may receive a bill for all or part of your treatment depending on your insurance plan’s deductible, coinsurance, and copay. If your insurance denies coverage for a treatment, contact us as we may be able to help obtain authorization. You may also face higher costs if Dr. Allen is not in-network with your insurance plan.

Is Dr. Shawn Allen in network with my insurance?

Insurance plans typically offer more affordable care if you choose providers who they consider in-network. If you choose a provider that is out-of-network, you may have higher costs. While Dr. Allen is in-network with many plans, keep in mind that a referral from another provider does not necessarily mean that Dr. Allen is in-network with your insurance. You can contact your insurer or call our office with your insurance details to determine if we are in-network with your plan.
