Billing & Payment Information

Dr. Abele no longer accepts private insurance. Some private insurers will allow you to submit your paid receipt for reimbursement. Check with your insurance carrier by calling the customer service number on the back of your insurance card. We will gladly provide a billable receipt for any Vermont appointment at your request.

For Massachusetts patients, and for uninsured/underinsured patients in Vermont, rates are as follows:

First office visit, adult: $300 (typically a 90-minute visit)

First office visit, pediatric: $200 (typically a 60-minute visit)

Return office visit with lab review and protocol development: $200 (typically a 60-minute visit)

Other return/follow up visits are billed by time at the rate of $50 per 15 minutes

Visits are scheduled based on need; the frequency and length of time of the visits is variable.

Payment is expected at the time of service, unless arrangements have been made in advance. We offer payment plans if payment at the time of service isn’t possible; please ask if you have questions about this. We offer a 15% discount off office visits for anyone over 65 if you are not using insurance.

Forms of payment accepted are cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express.

Cancellation policy:

Appointments that are not cancelled within 48-hours (business days) notice will incur a $50.00 charge, and no-shows will be billed the full amount for the time they were scheduled.

Urgent/ paging calls incur a $50 fee on top of the normal office visit rate of $50 per 15 minutes.
