Billing and coverage questions are common for patients seeking ear, nose, and throat care, so this page outlines the insurance plans accepted by the practice. Both the Manhattan and Brooklyn offices participate with a broad range of major medical insurance plans, and the reference list is offered as a starting point when scheduling an appointment for diagnosis or treatment of conditions involving hearing, balance, nasal passages, sinuses, voice, and swallowing.

Even with a plan listed as accepted, coverage for a specific visit can depend on the nature of the service, so patients are encouraged to share their plan details with the staff before the appointment. Confirming benefits in advance helps avoid unexpected costs and allows the office to focus on the clinical side of care, including evaluation of symptoms such as sinus pain, congestion, post-nasal drip, headaches, snoring, ringing in the ears, dizziness, and balance concerns.

Comprehensive ENT care often spans multiple visits, beginning with a thorough history and examination and continuing through audiometry testing, imaging, or procedural treatment when appropriate. Because a plan may cover some portions of a workup more readily than others, discussing the details of your coverage early in the process gives patients a clearer picture of what to expect at the Manhattan or Brooklyn location.

Patients who are unsure whether their current policy appears on the accepted list can simply contact the office with the plan name and member information in hand. The staff can verify participation directly and discuss referral requirements, which some carriers require for specialist visits in otolaryngology, including care for children, chronic sinusitis, breathing complaints, and voice or swallowing disorders.

Appointments can be scheduled at either the Broadway or Clinton Street office, and insurance verification is handled as part of that scheduling process. For patients considering ear tubes, sinus procedures, or other surgical options, the practice can explain how insurance typically interacts with pre-operative evaluation, the procedure itself, and any follow-up care needed afterward.
