You can maximize the benefits of psychiatry by:

Psychiatric Medication Covered by Insurance

Psychiatry medication management is typically covered by insurance when patients see one of our providers because they are all in-network with most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield (Anthem & CareFirst), Cigna (Evernorth), United (Optum), and Aetna. Usually, only a copay is due at the time of service. Please note that some ancillary services, such as letters and forms, are self-pay. Please visit our insurance and billing page for more information about insurance coverage at Washington Nutrition and Counseling Group.
