Health Insurance & Fees
Dr. Friedin is a provider with Aetna, Cigna, Empire Blue Cross, United Healthcare, Oxford, Beacon Health Options and GHI.
It is recommended that a prospective patient always call their health insurance carrier to confirm whether a doctor is a current participating provider.
If Dr. Friedin is not a participating provider with your plan, ask your insurance representative to describe your outpatient mental benefits for a non-provider.
The following questions should be asked regardless of whether you are seeing a provider or non-provider:
- Do you have a yearly deductible?
- What is your co-payment per session?
- Do you need pre-authorization for outpatient psychotherapy?
- Does the provider have to periodically obtain authorizations for additional therapy sessions?
- How many psychotherapy sessions are you allowed in a year?
