INSURANCE

Dr. Martins does not accept or participate with any insurance plans including private/commercial*, Medicare** or Medicaid. See more below.

 

Once your invoice is paid in full, you will receive a Superbill ("Statement for Insurance Reimbursement"). This is the appropriate document for you to submit for any out-of-network reimbursement claim with your insurance carrier.​  

​​

​* Special note regarding private/commercial insurance plans (e.g. United Healthcare, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, etc.)

• As stated above, Dr. Martins is out of network with all insurance plans.

• Note that submitting, tracking, and managing reimbursement claims with your insurance company is solely your responsibility.

• If your insurance company requests any additional information to process your claims, this is also your responsibility to manage and respond to.

• As an out-of-network provider, Dr. Martins should not be expected to interface with your insurance carrier or help manage your claims.

• Dr. Martins may charge you a fee to speak to your insurance company to resolve any requests for medical records or additional information on your behalf. This will be discussed with you in advance of any interaction with your insurance company on your behalf.

• TIP: if you need help with your reimbursement claims or anything related to your insurance carrier benefits (e.g. to respond to medical records requests), you can engage a paid service to submit and follow-up with claims and issues on your behalf. There are several services you can find with an online search (e.g., one service that Dr. Martins' patients have worked with successfully is Sheer Health).​

 

** Special note for MEDICARE recipients: 

Dr. Martins has opted out of Medicare - this means that if you are a Medicare recipient, Dr. Martins' bills cannot be submitted for reimbursement with Medicare. Note: to see an "opted out" provider, Medicare obligates you to sign a contract attesting to this, making you responsible for the full session cost. (When you try to submit for reimbursement, Medicare will contact your provider for a copy of this contract, which is obligatory, and deny your claim.)​
