Insurance Coverage

At Harmful Habits, we strive to make care accessible. We are actively working toward securing in-network insurance coverage with most major PPO insurers. We anticipate this will occur by the middle of 2024.

Please be advised however that we currently cannot accept Medicare patients, due to federal regulations, either as in-network or out-of-network patients. We hope to change this in the near future.

We are proud to currently be in-network with Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Oscar, Oxford, and Optum as well as UnitedHealthcare Shared Services (UHSS), GEHA, Harvard Pilgrim, UHC Student Resources, UMR, All Savers (UHC), Surest, Meritain, Nippon, Allied Benefit Systems, Trustmark, Health Scope, and Christian Brother Services.

We are working on getting in-network with Empire, Emblem, Anthem, and Blue Cross Blue Shield but are currently out-of-network. We are also out-of-network with any other insurers not listed above including Medicaid.

If you have Medicaid, Medicare or any other insurance we do not accept and live in New York, although we do not accept your insurance, we may be able to connect you to in-network care at Weill Cornell. You would need to be seen in-person in Manhattan for your initial visit but may be able to receive a combination of telehealth and in-person care after that depending on your situation.

For those seeing us out-of-network, we can provide an itemized bill to submit to insurance for reimbursement. Patients frequently recoup a sizable percent of their out-of-network spending. For those who are uninsured, out-of-network, or simply wish to maintain confidentiality from insurance, care is available at our listed rates.
