Check your insurance’s out-of-network coverage

I am currently an out-of-network provider with most insurance plans. However, I work with Zaya Health, which will automatically file out-of-network claims for you and help you potentially get partial reimbursement for my services. You can use the Zaya tool to check your insurance and determine eligibility for these benefits.

A possible breakthrough treatment for PTSD?

Mental health isn’t just an athlete thing.
Kevin Love | American professional basketball player for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
"After halftime, it all hit the fan. Coach Lue called a timeout in the third quarter. When I got to the bench, I felt my heart racing faster than usual. Then I was having trouble catching my breath. It’s hard to describe, but everything was spinning like my brain was trying to climb out of my head. The air felt thick and heavy. My mouth was like chalk. I remember our assistant coach yelling something about a defensive set. I nodded, but I didn’t hear much of what he said. By that point, I was freaking out. When I got up to walk out of the huddle, I knew I couldn’t reenter the game — like, literally couldn’t do it physically." -
