A direct-pay clinic is where patients pay directly for services without involving insurance providers. At New Tread Podiatry, this model enhances patient care and streamlines the treatment process. It allows us to focus on high-quality care for services like minimally invasive foot surgery, fungal toenail treatment, and non-surgical laser therapy. By removing insurance-related administrative burdens, we offer personalized, efficient, and transparent care. This means fewer barriers, clearer pricing, and a direct relationship with your podiatrist, ensuring prompt and effective treatment.

We do not contract with insurance providers because we operate as a direct pay clinic. This model offers several advantages to our patients:

1. Transparent Pricing: By eliminating third-party insurance, we can provide clear and transparent pricing for all our services. You'll know exactly what you’ll be paying upfront with no hidden fees or surprise bills.

2. Affordable Care: We aim to keep our prices competitive. Without the administrative costs associated with insurance billing, we can offer high-quality care at more affordable rates.

3. Personalized Attention: As a direct pay clinic, we can focus more on patient care rather than insurance paperwork. This allows for longer, more personalized visits where your concerns and treatment plans are thoroughly addressed.

4. Flexibility in Treatment: We’re able to recommend treatments based purely on medical necessity and effectiveness rather than insurance limitations. This ensures you receive the most appropriate care for your condition. By choosing us you are opting for efficient, personalized, and high-quality podiatric care.

Patients are required to pay directly at the time of service. However, we understand the importance of leveraging your insurance benefits. Although we are out-of-network with insurance plans, we can submit an out-of-network claim to your insurance provider on your behalf. Many of our patients with comprehensive insurance plans find that they have out-of-network coverage that can offset some of the costs. We can help verify your out-of-network coverage. We are committed to helping you navigate this process to make your experience as smooth and affordable as possible.

We prioritize transparent pricing at New Tread Podiatry. As a direct-pay clinic, we provide a clear list of prices for most services at the time of booking. This means no hidden fees and no surprises—just straightforward pricing for treatments like minimally invasive foot surgery, fungal toenail treatment, and non-surgical laser therapy. Our goal is to let you focus on your treatment and recovery without worrying about unexpected costs.

We accept all major credit cards, cash, and checks at New Tread Podiatry. Additionally, we offer financing options through the CareCredit credit card, making it easier to manage your healthcare expenses. Whether you're visiting for minimally invasive foot surgery, fungal toenail treatment, or non-surgical laser therapy, we have payment options to suit your needs.

You don't need a referral to book an appointment at New Tread Podiatry. Since we operate outside the insurance system, you can directly schedule consultations and treatments, ensuring you receive prompt and specialized care.

A typical visit at New Tread Podiatry lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour. This allows our podiatrist to conduct a comprehensive examination, address your concerns, and propose an appropriate treatment plan, ensuring you receive efficient and thorough care.

We generally operate by appointment only to ensure that each patient receives the dedicated time and attention they need for their foot health concerns. However, we understand that urgent situations can arise. For this reason, we may be able to accommodate walk-in appointments if you call beforehand. This allows us to check our schedule and make necessary arrangements to see you as soon as possible.
