Insurance & Payment Information
In-Network Insurance:
✓ Aetna
✓ Anthem Blue Cross of CA
✓ Blue Shield of CA
Your copay or coinsurance will be collected at time of service according to your plan benefits. Please note, Constellation Psychiatry does not accept any Medicaid/Medi-Cal or Medicare plans.
Out-of-Network Insurance:
For patients with other insurance plans, Constellation Psychiatry is considered out-of-network and self-pay pricing applies. I provide detailed superbills that can be submitted for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement varies by plan.
I recommend contacting your insurance provider before your first appointment to verify your out-of-network mental health benefits and understand your potential reimbursement.
To make the reimbursement process easier, I’ve partnered with Reimbursify, a service that helps you file claims for out-of-network reimbursement quickly and easily. File your first claim for free.
Why This Approach to Insurance?
By limiting insurance contracts and maintaining a smaller practice, I can offer higher quality care and personalized attention to each patient.
