Don't see your plan?

Out-of-network & self-pay

If your plan isn't listed, ask about out-of-network benefits — many PPO plans offer partial reimbursement for out-of-network psychiatric care. Self-pay (cash-pay) visits are also available for patients who prefer not to use insurance. Contact the office for current self-pay rates and out-of-network billing details.
