Do you accept insurance and what are the fees I can anticipate?

FAQ’s

We currently accept Cigna, Optum, and United Health Care and out of network services.

What is out of network (OON)?

What this means is that you pay for the services up front and each month, you will receive a reimbursement from your insurance provider, which is based upon their reimbursement rate. The process is simple: you call your insurance plan and Ask your provider, "what is your reimbursement rate for out of network procedure code 90834?". If you are looking for couples counseling ask them, "what is your reimbursement rate for out of network procedure code 90847?". Some plans, typically HMO plans, won't fund out-of-network care.

We are happy to provide you with receipts that include all the detailed codes required by insurers. Psychotherapy is also typically covered by pre-tax Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) or Health Spending Accounts (HSAs).
