Do you accept health insurance?

With the exception of Dr. Young and Malissa Watterson (see below), our providers are in-network with Aetna and Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans such as Anthem, and their soon-to-be new name, Elevance Health. Some of our providers accept Tricare.

(All of our therapists are out of network with Medicare plans, Medicare supplemental plans, and Medicaid plans. Anthem Healthkeepers Plus and Aetna Better Health are Medicaid plans, so we cannot accept them.

If you have an in-network insurer, you will normally only be charged a copay unless you have a deductible. We recommend calling your insurer before coming in to find out your copay and deductible, if any.

This fee covers a full 60 minutes, though our sessions are 53 minutes, as it includes additional time for preparation and note-taking.  Our therapists spend a considerable amount of time above and beyond this pursuing continuing education, attending professional conferences and trainings, and researching clients’ conditions and how to better treat them.

What if I have another insurer?

If our therapists are not considered in-network with your insurance company, we recommend checking your out-of-network benefits to find out how much of our fee might be covered. Companies such as United and Cigna often have very good out-of-network benefits so we highly recommend checking.

We do not work with Medicare or Medicaid

We do not accept Medicare (or Medicare supplemental plans) or Medicaid, and they will not reimburse you for any portion of the fee. Anthem Healthkeepers Plus and Aetna Better Health are Medicaid plans, so we cannot accept them.

Is teletherapy or online therapy covered by insurance?

Teletherapy is usually covered by insurance. You should call your insurance company to find out whether teletherapy is covered by your plan. If they ask for a “Place of Service” code, that code is “02.”

If I have to pay out-of-pocket, how much do you charge?

The fee for John Snyder, Mike Pease, and Ronnie Ransome, Jr. is $130 per session for a 53-minute session.

Malissa Watterson‘s fee is $70 per session. She does not accept insurance.

Dr. Young’s fee is $150 per session. He is out of network with all insurance companies, but some insurers may offer out-of-network benefits to cover some of his fee.
