Insurance
To determine if you have mental health coverage through your insurance carrier, the first thing you should do is call them. Check your coverage carefully and make sure you understand their answers. Some helpful questions you can ask them:
What are my mental health benefits?
How much will my insurance cover for an evaluation?
How much will my insurance cover for an out-of-network provider?
Do I need a referral from my primary care physician?
Do I still own a deductible? If so, what amount?
We do accept some insurance plans, and we offer competitive rates and payment plans for appointments covered out-of-pocket.
