Application for Services
An Important Note for Individuals with UnitedHealthcare
Unfortunately, we are not currently able to accept new clients with UnitedHealthcare insurance. The clinicians in our practice who currently have availability hold provisional licenses, and UnitedHealthcare does not credential provisionally licensed therapists. As a result, we are unable to bill UnitedHealthcare for services provided by these clinicians at this time.
We recognize how frustrating and discouraging insurance limitations can be, particularly when you are actively seeking mental health care. We want you to know that this limitation is related to insurance credentialing policies, not the qualifications, dedication, or clinical capabilities of our clinicians.
If you have UnitedHealthcare coverage and would like to see greater access to care, we encourage you to contact your insurance provider and request that they reconsider their policy regarding credentialing provisionally licensed therapists. Patient feedback and advocacy can help bring attention to barriers that limit access to mental health services and encourage meaningful change.
We sincerely appreciate your interest in The Oak Center and hope to have the opportunity to serve more members of our community in the future.
