Intake forms will be emailed to you to complete, which will include providing insurance and payment information.

Attend follow-ups
This is either a 60-, 45- or 30-minute session completed via a HIPAA-compliant video call.
We will decide what works best for your needs - either weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly follow-ups.
Questions to Ask Your United Healthcare Insurance Representative
We know that understanding your insurance benefits can be difficult and confusing. We always recommend consulting the back of your insurance card for the most appropriate customer service line for your inquiry.
Below we’ve created a script for you to use when calling your insurance provider to confirm your benefits and coverage.
We recommend always being polite and writing down the name of the agent you are speaking with as well as the reference number for your call at the beginning of your conversation.
