In-Network Insurance

I am in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Blue Choice Plans, Aetna PPO and Cigna.

I will check your benefits prior to starting therapy and I also encourage all clients to call the number on the back of their card to verify the following information:

What are my in-network benefits to see an outpatient mental health provider?

How much is my deductible and how much of it has been met? Do I have any co-insurance?

Do I have a co-pay?

Out-of-Network Insurance

I am an out-of-network provider for most other insurance plans.

This means that you are responsible for payment, in full, at the time of service.

I will provide you with a “Superbill” at the end of the month to be sent to your insurance company who will reimburse you directly.

Please call the number on the back of your insurance card regarding out of network mental health coverage for CPT code 90837.
