Can I use insurance at Cerebral?
We’ve intentionally built our service plans to be as affordable as possible for those without insurance and compared to most other providers within our industry. But due to many challenges within the mental healthcare space, we do not accept insurance at this time.
We may accept it again in the future, and can always provide a superbill for you to submit as an out-of-network claim to your insurer for reimbursement. Amount of reimbursement will depend on your specific insurer and benefits package.
We do accept FSA and HSA cards and offer additional cost savings for quarterly and annual payment plans.
