Health Insurance & Fees

Dr. Friedin is a provider with: Medicare, Oxford, and United Behavioral Health.

He is a provider with some New York Empire plans, Blue Cross, Beacon, and Aetna plans.

He is also a provider with several smaller plans.

Always call your insurance carrier to confirm whether a doctor is a current participating provider.

If Dr. Friedin is not a provider with your plan, ask your insurance carrier how your benefits work for outpatient mental health services with a non-provider.

You can ask your insurance or managed care company:
What is your co-payment for a therapy session?
Is there a limit to the number of therapy sessions in a year?
Do you have a separate mental health deductible?
How are your benefits different with a provider or non-provider?
Is pre-authorization required for outpatient psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy fees are adjusted for patients without insurance.
