Insurance participation is unique to each of our providers. Select providers are out of network with all insurance companies while others participate in most of the networks listed below. Regardless of participation our highly experienced billing staff will file both in and out of network claims on your behalf to maximize possible reimbursement.

Mental health benefits may be administered by a plan other than your primary healthcare benefits.

Please note:  We are NOT participating with Medicare, Medicaid, HIP, and/or Marketplace based plans.  Unfortunately, these plans prohibit our office or the covered member from filing a claim for out of network consideration. Therefore, patients will be responsible for payment in full fee at the time of service.
