Our office is proudly in-network with Cigna, Aetna, United Healthcare, and Optum. To streamline our billing process, we utilize Alma and Headway for all insurance-related transactions. For patients using insurance, a profile will be created in Headway or Alma’s system to manage your billing needs efficiently. We kindly request that patients keep a card on file with Alma and/or Headway to cover any co-payments or deductibles that may arise. This ensures a seamless and hassle-free payment experience. For patients using insurance, it is important to provide your insurance information at least 72 hours before your scheduled appointment to allow enough time for verification.

We do accept and welcome HSA/FSA for payment however, it is your responsibility to know if your HSA allows for services provided by out of network providers.
