Insurance

Although CAST Wellness is not part of any insurance networks, many insurance carriers provide out-of-network coverage for licensed psychologists.

By not contracting with insurance companies, we are able to better optimize treatment decisions, including recommendations around duration and intensity.

At your request, we will provide the necessary paperwork to facilitate any conversations with your insurance provider.
