Insurance participation and coverage are not the same thing and can vary by plan. Even when we are in-network with your insurance company, your plan may not cover every service. Please contact your insurance company directly to confirm your mental health benefits, copay, deductible, and any specific requirements or limitations. Couples and family therapy are often not covered unless the service meets your plan’s medical necessity criteria, so we strongly encourage you to verify this benefit before scheduling.
