Insurance:
I am credentialed with several commercial insurance plans (including Blue Cross Blue Shield HMO & PPO, Cigna, LSU First, UMR, United, and Verity). I am also credentialed with two Medicaid insurance plans (Healthy Blue and United Community Plan).
Depending on insurance coverage, some services may be covered (partially or in full) and some services may not be covered. I recommend that you contact your insurance company to ask about coverage prior to our first session.
I can also provide you with a detailed receipt for reimbursement by your insurance company for out-of-network services.
If finances are a barrier, please ask me about low-cost to no-cost options.
Good Faith Estimate:
Notice: You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
