I am currently accepting private pay Medicare, Medicaid, Cigna and United HealthCare. Unfortunately BCBS, Aetna and Humana have stated they will not be accepting me as a provider at this time. However, you can pay privately and I am able to provide you with superbills and a professionally written letter stating why you should be reimbursed for services. This is not a guarentee that you will be reimbursed but I will advocate on your behalf as to why you should be.
