In-network insurances

Dr. Hasnain Afzal is not in-network with any insurances

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $400 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $200 for 30 minutes
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

More information on payments and coverage

I offer slide scale. Majority of my practice is considered out-of-network. I can provide you with a receipt (super-bill) which may allow you to be reimbursed by your insurance. It is your responsibility to contact your insurance and find your out-of-network coverage. Please be advised that we cannot accept any Medicaid or Medicare patients either as in-network or out-of-network patients. I can accept small number of insurance PPO plans through my practice support system Hello Alma including Aetna, Cigna and Optum including United, Oscar, Oxford. Alma will help with insurance eligibility check and copay estimate. It is the patient's responsibility to submit insurance information for eligibility check.
