We are an out-of-network provider, so we do not accept any type of insurance. However, as a service to our clients, we will submit claims to see if your insurance will cover a percentage of out-of-network visits. We are not able to tell you if your insurance covers anything, but you can call the number on the back of your card and ask. If they can cover a percentage, you will pay all fees up front and then be reimbursed by your insurance by mail.

**As of 2024, we can no longer submit claims to UMR (payer ID 39026) and John Hopkins (payer ID 52189) and clients who carry that insurance will have to submit the claims on their own through their insurance portal to receive reimbursement. If you need help or have any questions, please call the toll-free number on the back of your insurance card.
