INSURANCE

We currently work with Blue Cross Blue Shield,  Evernorth (Cigna), Optum (United HealthCare), Kaiser Permanente, and Maryland Medicaid.  If you have another insurance provider, please let us know so that we can add it to our potential provider list, but in the meantime, our services can be billed to most insurance carriers as an out-of-network provider. This means that we are not in the insurance company’s network of providers, but depending on your plan, you may be able to get reimbursed for our services.  You can call your insurance carrier to find out what your out-of-network  benefits are, or you can call us and provide us information to check on your behalf. Specifically, you should find out:

  • Whether you have out-of-network benefits. If you do, this means your insurance will pay for you to see a therapist who is not in their network of healthcare providers.
  • Whether you have a deductible.  If you do, this means you will have to pay out of pocket until you have paid the amount of the deductible, and only then will your insurance carrier pay for your visits.  (For example, if you deductible is $1000, you will have to pay our fee of $100 for 10 sessions before your insurance will start paying.)
  • Whether there is a limit to how many sessions your insurance carrier will pay for.
  • Whether you will have to pay a co-pay (a fixed amount every time you visit, for example, $20) or co-insurance (a percentage of the fee for every visit, for example, 40%).
  • Whether you need a referral from your primary care physician.

Please note that we bill monthly and your credit card on file will be charged 30 days after the bill date unless you choose to pay via a different method.  If you wish to seek reimbursement from your insurance company, we will be happy to provide an invoice (sometimes known as a “superbill”) you can send them so that they can reimburse you.  Please feel free to contact us if you need further assistance on this topic.
