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.
