Common questions
Before you visit
Can this test assess pain or bleeding during pregnancy?
A test alone cannot assess pregnancy complications. Seek prompt medical evaluation for pain or bleeding, and emergency care for severe symptoms.
Are the listed fees a complete quote?
The schedule lists individual services. Visit, laboratory, imaging, medication, supply, or other charges may apply separately. Ask for the total proposed cost before proceeding.
