A therapist that accepts Medicaid in Maryland, plus medication and ABA
We accept Maryland Medicaid for all three of our services: therapy, medication management and ABA therapy. We check your coverage before your first visit.
Call with your plan name and we'll check what it covers.
Maryland Medicaid (HealthChoice)
We accept Maryland Medicaid for eligible behavioral health services: therapy, medication management with our nurse practitioners, and ABA therapy for participants under 21 with an autism diagnosis. Mental health care for Medicaid members is managed by Carelon Behavioral Health, separate from your HealthChoice plan. Services that need prior approval, including all ABA, are requested by our office.
No referral is needed for therapy or medication management. Whichever HealthChoice plan you have, the mental health part goes through Carelon:
- Aetna Better Health of Maryland
- CareFirst Community Health Plan Maryland
- Jai Medical Systems
- Kaiser Permanente
- Maryland Physicians Care
- MedStar Family Choice
- Priority Partners
- UnitedHealthcare Community Plan
- Wellpoint Maryland
Other insurance and self-pay
For other insurance, call (443) 824-4842 with your plan name and we'll tell you where things stand and what your plan covers before you schedule. If you don't have insurance or choose not to use it, call us for self-pay rates.
Before your first visit
Have your insurance card handy, front and back, with the policyholder's name and date of birth. Bring secondary insurance if you have it. Your plan sets your copay, coinsurance and deductible, and we share an estimate after checking your benefits.
The first appointment is an intake visit, billed like other visits. If you need to cancel, please give us at least 24 hours' notice.
Your right to a Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You can get it in writing at least 1 business day before your service, and you can ask for one before you schedule. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Save a copy of your estimate. For more information, visit cms.gov/nosurprises/consumers or call 1-800-985-3059.
