Insurance
I am in-network with Aetna, Cigna, and Anthem-Blue Cross Blue Shield. Our billing office handles all claims and financial details, allowing you to focus on your treatment and recovery. Please contact us to verify your insurance coverage. You may also call your insurance company directly to determine if I am in-network and determine your co-pay.Â
In Network: Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna
Out-of-Pocket Costs: I also accept out-of-network private insurance and self-pay patients. I am not in network with United, Medicare, or Medicaid. Patients may request an itemized superbill after each appointment to submit to their insurance companies for possible reimbursement.Â
Financial Policies
Self-Pay Options
For patients without insurance or who are out-of-network, here are my rates:
​
Initial Psychiatric Evaluation (90 minutes): $550
Follow-up Medication Management and Psychotherapy (30 minutes): $200
Brief Follow-up (15 minutes, requires approval): $116
Psychotherapy Only (60 minutes): $200
No-Show Fee*Â (not covered by insurance): $100
​
​
*Patient will be charged a no-show fee if they no-show or cancel their intake appointment with less than 48 hours notice. For follow-up appointments, patients will be excused one time for their first no-show or late cancellation (less than 24 hours prior to scheduled follow-up appointment time). I understand we all slip up sometimes, however, after your second follow-up no-show or late cancelation, you will be charged the no-show fee and after your third no-show or late cancelation you will no longer be considered under the care of Dr. Friedeman and will be given referral resources to find a different provider.Â
Payment Methods
Payments can be made via major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express). Credit cards information will be securely stored and charged on the day of appointments for self-pay patients and after insurance claims are filed for insured patients.Â
