As of May 2009, I am slated to be an in-network provider for Tufts and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. This means that I should be able to take almost any Tufts and Blue Cross insurance. In addition, I am a Medicare provider. For patients who are on these plans, questions can be directed to my billing service (CMS, Inc.) at 800-946-1101 (from Massachusetts phone numbers) or 508-763-9299.
I am not in any other provider networks (e.g. Harvard Pilgrim, Aetna, Cigna). However, if your insurance has an out-of-network benefit (e.g., a PPO plan), it should cover some part of the cost. In this situation, I would have you pay me directly and I would give you a receipt to submit to your insurer for reimbursement.
Some patients with insurance choose to pay out of pocket either because because they prefer to avoid using insurance to cover mental health care, or because they're not able to find someone in their provider network that seems like a "good fit."
