More information on payments and coverage
We are excited to announce a significant service enhancement, effective June 1st, 2024. We have partnered with the ALMA and Headway system, which will now be our primary platform for managing all In-Network insurance claims and payments.
We want to reassure you of our continued support for clients not enrolled in an in-network insurance program. While ALMA and Headway will handle in-network claims, our practice will still provide you with a “super bill.” This document can be submitted to your insurance provider for reimbursement according to your Out-Of-Network benefits. Our partnership with ALMA and Headway are a step towards enhanced service efficiency, but our commitment to all our clients, regardless of their insurance provider, remains steadfast.
