Fees & Insurance

The money part, up front.

Here’s what therapy costs and which insurance I accept, so there are no surprises.

These are my self-pay rates. If you’re using insurance, what you pay depends on your plan’s copay, coinsurance, or deductible.

Insurance

I’m in-network with:

  • Aetna
  • Cigna
  • Curative
  • Evernorth
  • Medical Mutual
  • Meritain Health
  • Ohio Healthy

Coverage depends on your specific plan, so it’s worth confirming your benefits before we start.

Checking your coverage

Call the number on your insurance card and ask:

  • Am I covered for outpatient mental health care with Dr. Jonathan Shay?
  • What are my outpatient mental health benefits?
  • What’s my deductible, and how much of it have I met?
  • What’s my copay or coinsurance per session?

Paying on your own

I accept credit cards and HSA cards. If my practice is out-of-network with your plan, I can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. What you get back depends on your plan.

If you’re not using insurance, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of what your care is expected to cost.

Where I see clients

In person in Columbus, and online across Ohio and in PSYPACT-participating states.
