Starting Care
Insurance
​
I am an in-network provider for Aetna PPO/POS and Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans.
Prior to your first appointment, please contact your insurance company directly to inquire about the following information:
​
-
Is Dr. Fortunato in my network?
-
What are my outpatient mental health benefits for telehealth visits?
-
Do my benefits cover individual and/or couples therapy?
-
Do I have a copay, deductible, and/or coinsurance? If I have a deductible, has it been met?
-
Do I have a specific number of sessions that are covered each year?
​
I am considered an out-of-network provider for all other insurance plans. Should you wish to use your out-of-network benefits, I am happy to provide you with documentation that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
​
In compliance with the No Surprise Act, individuals who are uninsured or who are not using their insurance are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate explaining the cost of their care. More information can be found here.
