Wonder Years was founded with the goal to offer mental health care that is affordable. And we abide by a model such as the ‘hybrid’. A few of our providers are considered out of network while few are in-network with particular insurances. Kindly inquire with the practice about the provider you are seeking services from. e.g. Dr. Malik is an in-network provider for most commercial plans offered by Cigna & Aetna but is an ‘out-of-network’ provider for all other insurances. That means he does not accept insurances other than Cigna & Aetna.
We do provide paperwork that includes receipts and diagnosis codes to help you with the reimbursement from your insurance company for all the psychiatric services you have received from us for out of network providers. It is helpful to call insurance companies in advance to determine the level of coverage.
At Wonder Years we strive to be transparent and upfront about healthcare costs to our patients. (Effective January 1st 2025)
