Tell me in a few sentences about what is going on for you and what you may be looking for at this time. * Preferred Method of Payment * I am in-network with many insurance plans (Aetna/Meritain, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Carelon, Northwell Direct, Optum- Oscar/Oxford/United Healthcare). If I'm in-network with your plan, you are only responsible for your copay after you meet your deductible, if you have a deductible to reach. Many people just have a copay for in-network providers. If you are using out-of-network benefits, this is because I am not in-network with your plan but your plan offers partial reimbursement for our appointments. I will provide you with superbills for you to submit to your insurance company. This is always worth asking your insurance company because some reimburse large percentages. I am happy to guide you with questions to ask them. Private pay means opting out of using insurance completely. Sliding scale fees also require opting out of using insurance completely, which means payments do not go towards any deductibles and you cannot receive reimbursement.
