Dr. Max can negotiate fees based on a sliding fee scale for clients who do not have insurance and who are financially struggling. The sliding fee scale slides down to $90.00/session based on a family's income and the number of people supported by that income. To request a sliding fee scale, please refer to and fill out the Sliding Fee Scale Application Download SLIDING SCALE FORM on this page. 

Co-pays and self-pay fees are due at the time of service. Dr. Max sends out bills at the beginning of the month and directly bills insurance companies as a service to his clients. See INSURANCE section below for billing details.
