Insurance

Care for Florida Patients, In-Person & Telehealth

We are proud to be in-network with the following insurance plans for patients seen in Florida, both at our Trinity office and via telehealth

Plans We Are In-Network with

*A Note about BCBS (Blue Cross Blue Shield): If you have a Blue Cross Blue Shield plan and are interested in THERAPY services, our licensed therapist Thirslon Williams is in-network with BCBS and accepts BCBS for individual, family, and couples therapy.

Our in-network contracts are continuously expanding. If your plan is not listed, please call us at (727) 910-2395. This list is updated regularly.

Plans We Are Not Currently In-Network with

*A Note about Medicaid: We participate with select Medicaid managed care plans, including Sunshine Health MMA and Sunshine CMS. We are not enrolled with straight (fee-for-service) Medicaid.

Out-of-Network & Self-Pay in Florida

Regarding psychiatry services: For patients with out-of-network insurance plans, services are provided on a self-pay basis. Upon request, a superbill can be provided for potential reimbursement through your insurance carrier, depending on your out-of-network benefits. We can provide a superbill — a detailed, itemized receipt — that you submit directly to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

Before your first appointment, we recommend calling your insurance company to ask:

You can also use the Reimbursify app to submit your superbill directly to your insurer — it simplifies the process significantly.

Telehealth Care

In addition to Florida, Beacon Psychiatry provides telehealth psychiatric services via Zoom for patients in California and Washington (Pacific Time), as well as New York, Kentucky, Connecticut, North Carolina, and Ohio (Eastern Time), along with Tennessee and Iowa (Central Time).

At this time, we are SELF-PAY ONLY for all states outside of Florida.

POLICIES

What to Know about Payments, Billing & Appointment

We believe in clear, transparent communication. Please review our insurance and payment policies below

Payment & Credit Card Policy

We accept all major credit and debit cards, cash, and check. All payments are due at the time of service.

To provide any evaluation or treatment services, we require 2 cards on file (credit/debit). This policy allows us to process co-pays, deductibles, outstanding balances, or cancellation fees efficiently without requiring an additional transaction at each visit. Your payment information is stored securely using industry-standard encryption and is never shared. If you have any questions about this policy, please don’t hesitate to ask — we are glad to explain it.

Cancellation Policy

Your time matters to us — and so does the time of every patient on our waitlist. When an appointment is cancelled without enough notice, that time slot often cannot be filled, and another patient who needs care goes without it.

We completely understand that unexpected things happen. All we ask is that you contact us as soon as you know you need to cancel or reschedule — ideally at least 48 hours in advance, and no less than 24 hours whenever possible. The sooner you let us know, the sooner we can offer that time to someone else who is waiting.

When an appointment is missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, the following fees apply:

If you are experiencing an emergency or unforeseen situation that prevented you from giving adequate notice, please contact our office — we handle these situations with compassion on a case-by-case basis.

Other Financial Policies

A fee of 25% of the charge plus the amount owed (totaling 125% of the original charge) will apply to any returned payments. If a balance is referred to a collections agency, a fee of 50% plus the amount owed (totaling 150% of the original charge) will apply.

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected costs before your appointment if you are uninsured or paying out of pocket. Please ask our office for a Good Faith Estimate prior to scheduling your first appointment if you would like one. We are committed to full transparency about costs.
