Counseling in Long Island
Managed Medicaid and Essential Insurance Plans

We accept Managed Medicaid and Essential insurance plans under Fidelis, HealthFirst, and Optum UCH Community Plan.

If you are also interested in an assessment for potential medication management by a psychiatrist, we will do our best after your intake to connect you to a managed Medicaid provider based in Long Island in addition to counseling.

If you would like more information about accessing Managed Medicaid plans please read below.




Additional Courtesy Insurance Information

Have you had a significant change that may impact your insurance?

If you have had a recent change of income, may no longer be eligible to be on another's insurance plan, or have another qualifying life event, you may be eligible for a Medicaid managed care or essential insurance plan. If so, you could receive full or significant coverage for therapy visits here if selecting a plan we are in network with. 

It is best to call the number through the NYS health exchange  (1.855.355.5777) and let them know you believe you may qualify for a Medicaid level or similar plan. These plans are not always viewable on the main website. The Medicaid plans we accept are Optum UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, Healthfirst and Fidelis.

Here is the link to the New State of Health website to look into enrolling and questions you might have:  https://info.nystateofhealth.ny.gov/.

November is also insurance 'open enrollment' time where you can seek other insurances without a life change event if applicable.


Please note the following when considering changing your insurance:

-Make sure any necessary medical treatment you need (providers, medications, etc). would be covered under the new plan).

-Discuss any impact on co-insured family members. If you are insured through a spouse, parent or anyone else ask them to keep you updated on any insurance changes.

-Ask if there would be any deductible or copay for 'routine professional outpatient mental health visits'.

-If seeking services make sure your provider would be covered and give them their NPI number and name; for psychotherapy state that the service would be "Mental Health/Behavioral Health".

-You may choose another plan available through the state if more appropriate for you but you may not have coverage to see us through those benefits. Make the best decision for your situation.

-If you are employed you can ask your employer if it is possible for you to choose your own insurance/opt out of what they offer; remember to compare both options.

-The NYS of health assigns insurance agents to help clients navigate benefits and you can often view full benefit descriptions online before choosing.
