INSURANCE
Insurance & Payment Options
Dr Escoto accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) and Aetna insurance plans. She also offers self-pay options for those who prefer not to use insurance for therapy.
If you’d like to use insurance, Dr. Escoto works with a dedicated billing specialist who will verify your mental health benefitrs before your first appointment. To begin this process, we’ll need:
- A copy of the front/back of the insurance card
- Client’s full name
- Client’s birthday
- The address associated with the insurance plan
Once verified, the biller will manage claims on the clients behalf or provide a superbill if needed for reimbursement.
Considering Self-Pay?
Many clients choose to self-pay for therapy in order to:
- Maintain greater privacy and avoid a mental health diagnosis being required.
- Set personalized goals without limitations placed by insurance.
- Enjoy more flexibility in treatment frequency and length
- Avoid unexpected claim denialsor restrictions.
Self-pay also supports a collaborative and client-centered approach, where we can focus fully on your needs-not what insurance dictates.
Please reach out with any questions or to discuss what option works best for you.
