Fees & insurance

Transparent pricing and flexible payment options


Insurance coverage

We currently accept the following insurance plans:

  • Aetna

  • Cigna

  • Optum

  • United Health Care

  • Quest Behavirioural Health

  • and more

We bill your insurance directly. You'll only be responsible for your copay or any applicable deductible.

Verify your coverage

Insurance coverage can vary by plan. We recommend contacting your insurance provider before your first appointment to verify:

  • Mental health and primary care coverage

  • Copay or coinsurance amounts

  • Whether a referral is required (typically not needed for our services)

  • Deductible status

If you have questions about your specific coverage, we're happy to help verify benefits before your appointment.

Self-pay options

If you don't have insurance or prefer to pay out-of-pocket, we offer straightforward self-pay rates:

  • Initial Appointment: $120

  • Follow-Up Appointments: $60

Payment: We accept all major credit cards, Health Savings Accounts (HSA), and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).

Why self-pay? Some patients choose self-pay for privacy, flexibility, or because their insurance doesn't cover telehealth services.

Insurance verification & patient responsibility

It is your responsibility to verify your insurance coverage before your appointment. While we make every effort to verify benefits, insurance coverage can be complex and subject to change.

You are responsible for:

  • Confirming that MLR Holistic Health is in-network with your specific plan

  • Understanding your deductible, copay, and coinsurance amounts

  • Knowing which services are covered under your plan

  • Verifying that psychiatric and mental health services are included in your benefits

  • Understanding any pre-authorization or referral requirements

  • Providing accurate and current insurance information

Please note: Insurance benefits quoted by your insurance company or our office are estimates only and not a guarantee of payment. Your insurance company makes the final determination of coverage and payment.

What happens if insurance denies a claim

If your insurance company denies a claim or pays less than expected, you are responsible for the full balance.Common reasons for claim denials include:

  • Services not covered under your specific plan

  • Deductible not yet met

  • Out-of-network benefits lower than expected

  • Pre-authorization not obtained

  • Plan limitations on frequency of visits

We will work with you to appeal denied claims when appropriate, but you remain financially responsible for all services provided.
