I am in-network with most United, Optum, Oscar, Aetna, and Cigna plans. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan, if you have a deductible, and other factors.
I use Headway, a secure third-party website, to handle insurance billing, ensuring your claims are processed accurately and efficiently. You can learn more about Headway and visit my profile here.
Most insurance plans require a mental health diagnosis in order to approve and cover counseling services. This means that to use your benefits, a formal diagnosis from the DSM must be included as part of your treatment plan. If you have any questions or concerns about this process, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to help clarify.
Questions to Ask Your Insurance Provider:
- Do you cover all types of therapy, including in-person and online visits?
- Do I require a medical diagnosis, or diagnostic code, in order to be covered?
- Is there a cap on the number of therapeutic visits I can have annually?
- If so, when does the policy year start and end?
- Do I have to pay an annual deductible for these services?
- What is my copay amount?
- How does my copay differ for in-network and out-of-network therapists?
