Our practice operates as an in-network provider with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Blue Choice PPO.

For most other insurance plans, we are considered an out-of-network provider and do not bill those insurance companies directly. However, we accept HSA/FSA cards and can provide a superbill (an insurance-specific receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

Because out-of-network benefits vary by plan, we recommend contacting your insurance company directly to confirm your benefits, deductible, copay/coinsurance, and reimbursement rates for out-of-network behavioral health services.

You can also use the Thrizer Widget to estimate your potential out-of-pocket costs and insurance reimbursement.
