Do You Accept Insurance?
Although Ann Tanner has elected not to be affiliated with managed care panels at this time, insurance reimbursements may be available if your plan allows you to select a licensed mental health provider of your choice. You may inquire of your insurance company to see if you have an “out-of-network” option to your policy. This allows you the flexibility to select your own provider from the professional community at large. In general, we will provide a statement so you may submit it to your insurance company for any reimbursement under your plan.
