Maryland Medicaid & Insurance for Therapy

Verify your coverage

Call with your plan name and we'll check whether we're in network and what your plan covers.

Plans we accept

Maryland Medicaid. We accept Maryland Medicaid for eligible behavioral health services, including ABA therapy for participants under 21 with an autism diagnosis. Medicaid mental health services are managed by Carelon Behavioral Health, separate from your HealthChoice plan. Services that need prior approval, including all ABA, are requested by our office.

Commercial insurance. Participation varies by plan, and we can't accept every commercial plan. Call (443) 824-4842 and we'll confirm whether we're in network with yours.

Before your first visit

Have your insurance card handy, front and back, along with the policyholder's name and date of birth. If you have secondary insurance, bring that too, and any referral or prior authorization your plan requires.

Terms on your bill

Copay: A set amount you pay for each visit.
Coinsurance: A percentage of the cost you pay after your deductible.
Deductible: What you pay each year before your plan starts paying.
In network: Your plan has a contract with us.
Explanation of Benefits (EOB): A statement from your plan showing what it paid.

Copays, deductibles, and cancellations

Your plan determines your copay, coinsurance, and deductible. We'll share an estimate after checking your benefits.

If you need to cancel, please give us at least 24 hours' notice so we can offer the time to someone else.

Self-pay

If you don't have insurance or choose not to use it, call (443) 824-4842 for our self-pay rates.

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 have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises/consumers or call 1-800-985-3059.
