Services are provided with the understanding that you (not an insurance company) are ultimately responsible for the cost of your treatment. Even if that provider is "In-Network" with your insurance company this does not guarantee that your specific plan provides benefits for our services. It is also important to verify with your specific plan that we are in-network as they sometimes outsource to a third party for mental health services. Coverages can change at any time even with in-network plans.

You are responsible for knowing what services are covered by your particular plan as well as if our services will be in network, please check with your plan by calling the number on the back of your card before your appointment (please see the answer to the following question for what to ask when you call). If your need prior authorization for services, this must be completed before you are scheduled.
